Ingredients

  • 1 butternut squash , peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 salt pinch
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion small
  • 2 garlic large cloves
  • ½ tsp . salt
  • 1 black pepper pinch
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 2 Tbsp oregano divided, fresh
  • 2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock, low sodium
  • 1 cassia cinnamon stick form
  • ½ cup white kidney beans rinsed, canned
  • 1 pear peeled, cored and chopped into ½” pieces, small
  • 2 Tbsp walnut pieces
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (or whipping cream), omit if vegan
  • 2 Tbsp parsley chopped, fresh

Pistou

  • 2 tablespoons pistachio chopped
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, or any herb you like
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

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!
