Notes
- Use any type of autumn squash you like, or a combo. Today I used butternut squash.
- Roasting the squash intensifies it's flavor more.
- Adding pear to the soup brings out the sweetness of the squash only, so your soup won't taste like pear.
- Cinnamon is a common savory spice in Mediterranean cooking and you've probably not tried it before, so here's an opportunity to.
- Its best to use a cinnamon stick not ground cinnamon here so you can remove it easily.
- Walnuts add a creamy rich taste to the soup once blended.
- Likewise the white beans add a creamy luscious feel to the soup without having to add cream.
- For extra creamy feel, add a touch of Greek yogurt to the soup or use a vegan alternative.
- Serve with the pistou for a texture contrast that can't be beat!
- Keep leftover of the Mediterranean soup in the fridge for up to 6 days or freeze it for 4 months.
- Serve warm or cool.
- ENJOY!
