Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- ½ cup yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 pounds ripe pears approx. 8 medium pears, quartered
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
- ½ cup soy milk or almond/cashew milk
Optional Garnish
- Cashew cream
Instructions
- Set your oven to broil on high, with the top rack about 6 inches down from the top burner.
- Melt butter in a cast iron pan or another ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Then add the onions and garlic and sauté until translucent and lightly caramelized, approx. 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add the quartered pears, lemon juice, cinnamon, and maple syrup, and toss to coat. Then place the skillet in your oven and broil for about 7-10 minutes until the pears are lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and carefully transfer your soup to a blender. Add the milk and puree until smooth and creamy. Taste and add some salt and pepper if needed.
- Pour your pear soup into bowls and enjoy warm, OR let stand at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before enjoying.

Notes
- Enjoy this pear soup warm OR cold. It tastes fantastic both ways, but the flavours seem to really mingle nicely together once slightly cooled to room temperature.
- Leftovers will keep refrigerated in a sealed container for 3-4 days, or freeze airtight in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
