Roasted butternut squash and pears

"Very simple to make, one of the easiest. I put the veggies in the oven on a timer before work and they were done and cool by the time i got home then just prepared the rest in about 10 minutes.
I substituted nonfat sour cream for the cream since its a regular dinner, and it was still delicious! I would use half and half for a dinner party or guests. Note to other cooks - sour cream can separate slightly compared to cream. My husband loved it and so did I! I may make this recipe this coming Thanksgiving rather than pumpkin soup. " - fts003

5. Add the remaining contents of the roasting pan(pears, onion, thyme, and all the juices).

6. Use a burr mixer to smooth the mixture.

7. Add the chicken broth and let simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

8. Add the cream and stir, simmer for 5-8 minutes.

9. Season with kosher salt and white pepper.

    This had such a warm, wonderful flavour! A hit with my hubby for sure! He even took some for lunch the next day!

    Easy to make. I use a few extra wintery spices, and sub homogenized milk for cream and it's still really rich and delicious! Put a few croutons and parmesan cheese on top and you're set!

    I only had d'anjou pears in the house so I used them and made this vegan by adding cashew cream instead of regular cream. The whole family loved it and my kids asked if I could make it again tomorrow.... good thing I have leftovers :)

    Made this last night and had the most delicious lunch today! It was very easy to make, and of all the butternut squash soup recipes I have tried, this is my favorite...I'm sticking with this recipe from now on. I did add a few twists, I put in a couple of pinches of nutmeg, cinnamon and a tiny bit of grated ginger. I also used one cup of light cream and one cup of 1% milk to save some calories, it was still still creamy and hearty.

    Incredibly easy to make, warm and filling. I had no pears so I substituted apples and it was very good. I also opted for milk instead of the higher fat cream. The soup was rich and delicious.

    A new cold weather favorite!!
