Ingredients
2 Anjou pears, peeled, cored and chopped into 1 inch chunks
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and chopped into 1 inch chunks
3 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
¼ cup low fat Greek yogurt (optional)
1 Tbsp. pumpkin seeds (optional)
Ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine pears and squash in a roasting pan. Drizzle with 1½ tsp. olive oil and toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer in pan.
Roast in oven until squash begins to brown and soften, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat remaining 1½ tsp. olive oil on medium. Add onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute until onion is softened and golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Add pear-squash mixture and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Puree mixture in a food processor until smooth. Garnish each serving with yogurt, pumpkin seeds and nutmeg, if desired.
