Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 pounds ripe pears (approx. 8 medium pears, quartered)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup soy milk (or almond/cashew milk)
  • cashew cream

Instruction

  • Set your oven to broil on high, with the top rack about 6 inches down from the top burner.
  • Melt butter in a cast iron pan or another ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Then add the onions and garlic and sauté until translucent and lightly caramelized, approx. 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and add the quartered pears, lemon juice, cinnamon, and maple syrup, and toss to coat. Then place the skillet in your oven and broil for about 7-10 minutes until the pears are lightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and carefully transfer your soup to a blender. Add the milk and puree until smooth and creamy. Taste and add some salt and pepper if needed.
  • Pour your pear soup into bowls and enjoy warm, OR let stand at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before enjoying.
