Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

Love food, love cooking. And the joy of sharing the spoils with good friends over a bottle or three.

Rich in vitamin C and carotenoids, this soup is an excellent choice for giving your immune system a lift. It's also rich in a phytonutrient (beta-cryptoxanthin) that is thought to be particularly good for promoting healthy lungs.

With a little ginger and cinnamon in the mix, this restaurant-quality soup serves as a true health tonic.

1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped

1 yam or sweet potato, peeled and roughly chopped

2 pears (bosc works well), cored and roughly chopped (not overly ripe)

1 onion, peeled and chopped

½ cup coconut milk

6.5 cups vegetable broth

1 cinnamon stick

½ to 1 inch ginger root, peeled and minced

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Sea salt and pepper
