Ingredients:

Serving

1 butternut squash (about 2 3/4 lb)
1 tbsp butter
2 cups chopped peeled bartlett pear (about 1 lb)
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion
2 1/3 cups water
1 cup pear nectar
2 (14 1/2-oz) cans vegetable broth
2 1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 small bartlett pear, cored and thinly sliced

Pour puréed mixture into a large bowl; repeat procedure with remaining squash mixture. Return squash mixture to pan; stir in half-and-half. Cook over low heat 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
