Butternut Squash Soup Ingredients

You need less than 10 ingredients to make this easy soup recipe!

• Garlic
• Vegetable broth
• Ground ginger (or fresh)
• Ground cinnamon

How To Make Butternut Squash & Pear Soup

It’s SO easy to make this creamy butternut squash and pear soup at home – I promise.

Start by preheating your oven to 400F.

Next, peel butternut squash with a vegetable peeler. Remove the seeds, and cut the squash into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Place cubed squash on a baking sheet and toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the oven for 30 minutes, tossing halfway.

Meanwhile, slice the pears and peel garlic cloves. Place them on a separate baking sheet, and transfer to the oven for 20 minutes.

Heat the vegetable broth up on the stovetop while the squash and pears are in the oven.

Remove everything from the oven. Add the vegetable broth, roasted squash, pears, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a high-speed blender (I use this Vitamix). Blend for a couple minutes, until smooth.

Adjust seasonings as desired and serve! I love to add a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds, microgreens, and a slice of toasted sourdough.

This would also taste fabulous with this gourmet grilled cheese sandwich 😉

How To Store & Reheat Soup

Leftovers of this butternut squash soup can be kept in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for 3-5 days. To keep for longer, soup can be frozen for up to 6 months.

To reheat, simply warm it up on the stovetop or in the microwave! Be sure to stir soup to evenly distribute the heat.
