How to Make Autumn Pear And Pumpkin Soup

  1. Finely chop 1 medium yellow onion.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped onion, 4 cups of water, and 2 bouillon cubes (vegetable or chicken).
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the onion is very soft and tender.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before carefully transferring it to a blender or food processor.
  6. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin puree to the blender.
  7. Secure the lid and blend until completely smooth and creamy. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.)
  8. Pour the blended pumpkin mixture back into the saucepan.
  9. Stir in 1 cup of half-and-half or light cream, 1/2 cup pear nectar, 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper.
  10. Heat the soup through, stirring occasionally, until warmed through but not boiling.
  11. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with thinly sliced fresh pear, if desired.
