Summary

This sweet and savory soup combines pumpkin, pear, and fresh ginger into a creamy soup that will warm you up on a chilly fall day. You can toss everything in a slow-cooker and let it cook all day, so dinner is ready when you come home from work. Pair this dish with an Arugula, Pear, Walnut, & Pecorino Salad for a fall-themed soup-and-salad combo or Tarragon Herbed Chicken and Mushrooms for something heartier.

Directions

Directions

  1. Coat a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the pumpkin, pears, onions, broth, cumin, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 3 1/2 hours, or on low for 7 hours, or until onions are tender.

  2. Working in 1-cup batches, purée the pumpkin mixture in a blender, being sure to secure the lid tightly while blending. Return the mixture to the slow cooker, stir in the remaining ingredients, except the yogurt. Cover and cook on high for 30 more minutes.

  3. Serve topped with 1 tbsp of yogurt.

    This tastes amazing! I don't have a slow cooker so I cooked it more conventionally, but I'm sure it would be great as written as well!
