Steps

  • 1
    Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onion in butter, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in broth, squash, 2 sliced pears, thyme, salt, white pepper and coriander. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until squash is tender.
  • 2
    Pour about half of the soup into food processor or blender. Cover and process until smooth; pour into another container. Repeat with remaining soup. Return soup to Dutch oven.
  • 3
    Stir whipping cream into soup. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until hot (do not boil). Garnish with sliced unpeeled pear and pecans.

  • Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • Add a festive touch to your soup presentation with: A small dollop of sour cream. A touch of cilantro pesto over soup. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro and croutons. Or add a flavor twist to this recipe by using apples instead of pears!
  • Add these trimmings to complete your dinner. If you're serving 8, double the Roasted Vegetable Medley. What's great, you can make the dessert tart as well as the pearl onions a day ahead of time.
