TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST BUTTERNUT SQUASH PEAR SOUP

ROAST BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH THE SKIN ON. Then, you can just scrape the cooked butternut squash right into your soup pan!

USE BONE BROTH RATHER THAN STOCK. Bone broth is higher in protein, collagen, and microminerals. It is amazing for your gut health and adds more nutrients to your butternut squash soup!

USE FULL FAT COCONUT MILK. I made my butternut squash soup with chicken bone broth and coconut milk for a rich creamy texture and flavor!

IS IT BETTER TO ROAST OR BOIL BUTTERNUT SQUASH FOR SOUP?

You can make my butternut squash bone broth soup either way- with boiled or roasted butternut squash! Boiling the cubed butternut squash right into your soup makes cooking a lot quicker and less clean up!

Roasting butternut squash does take more time, but it definitely enhances the flavor of your soup! Below, I included directions to make my bone broth butternut squash soup both ways!

HOW TO MAKE BUTTERNUT SQUASH PEAR SOUP

Butternut squash soup with bone broth is such a warm and cozy soup to whip up in no time! It is super healthy and filled with anti inflammatory ingredients!

STEP 1- SAUTE ONION

In a large stockpot, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil or organic butter over medium heat.

Add in 1 medium chopped onion. Don't worry about the size of the onion pieces because you will be pureeing your soup later.

Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until it is soft and translucent.

Next, add 1 tablespoon of fresh minced ginger and cook till the ginger is just fragrant.

STEP 2- ADD SQUASH AND COOK TILL SOFT

Next, add 4 cups cubed butternut squash, 3 sliced pears, 4 cups of broth, salt, and pepper. Stir together and reduce the heat to low. Cover your pot with a lid and let all the flavors cook together for about 30 minutes, or until the butternut squash is soft.

I made this butternut squash soup with chicken bone broth, but you can definitely use beef bone broth instead!

**If you are roasting your butternut squash instead, simply follow the instructions below to roast a whole butternut squash. Once the butternut squash is soft, scoop it into your soup along with the pears and bone broth the same as above.**

STEP 3- PUREE AND ADD COCONUT MILK

Butternut squash soup with coconut milk is so creamy and so delicious! Don't skip the coconut milk it really adds so much delicious flavor and is filled with healthy fats.

After 30 minutes, remove the lid and add ½ cup full fat coconut milk. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup completely.

Taste and add more salt or pepper if you like. Serve warm and enjoy!

STORAGE

This butternut squash and pear soup keeps in the fridge for about 3-4 days.

HOW TO ROAST BUTTERNUT SQUASH FOR SOUP INSTEAD

If you have a little extra time and you really want to enhance the flavor of your butternut squash bone broth soup, try roasting your butternut squash!

Get this step started before you start your soup so that your butternut squash has time to roast and cool off a bit and your soup isn't waiting on the squash!

Roasting butternut squash for soup is so easy! All you have to do to roast your butternut squash is cut it in half once lengthwise, and scrape out any seeds.

Place each butternut squash half on a baking tray. Brush each half with a little bit of avocado oil.

Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes until it starts to turn golden brown. That's it!

Let your butternut squash cool while you prepare the rest of you soup. This will make scraping out the flesh a lot easier.. and no burned hands!

WHAT CAN I ADD TO MY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP?

A dollop of Greek yogurt, sour cream, a drizzle of coconut or heavy cream, or even feta cheese are all excellent ideas for toppings on butternut squash bone broth soup.
