Cozy Fall Recipe: Roasted Pumpkin Pear Soup

Today’s Recipe: Roasted Pumpkin and Pear Soup

Hey there foodies! Today, I wanted to share a delicious and comforting recipe for roasted pumpkin and pear soup. As the weather starts to cool down, I always crave warm and cozy dishes that are full of fall flavors. This soup is the perfect blend of sweet and savory, making it a great choice for a cozy night in or a festive gathering with friends and family.

Ingredients:

• 1 small pumpkin, diced (about 500g)
• 2 pears, sliced (about 300g)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups of vegetable broth
• 1 cup of coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• pot
• blender
• knife

I start by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, I arrange the diced pumpkin and sliced pears in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized.

In a pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant. Add the roasted pumpkin and pears to the pot, along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes.

Using a blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving:

This roasted pumpkin and pear soup serves 4 people and weighs approximately 1600g when cooked. Each serving is around 400g. As an estimate, each serving contains about 250 calories.

Clever Tip:

For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the soup before serving. The acidity will brighten up the flavors and take this dish to the next level.

I highly recommend giving this roasted pumpkin and pear soup a try. It’s a unique and delicious recipe that combines the best flavors of fall into one comforting bowl. Feel free to get creative with your own additions and adjustments, and enjoy every spoonful of this delightful soup!
