Ingredients:

Serving

1 (2 1/2 lb) butternut squash
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
2 tbsp fresh gingerroot, peeled and finely minced
2 pears, halved, cored and diced
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh rosemary (3 inches each)
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

Peel, seed and cube squash. (cut off a slice from top and bottom and stand squash on end to cut down the middle). Set aside.
In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, garlic and ginger. Saute 5 minutes.
Put squash and remaining ingredients (except pepper and lemon juice) into pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes. The vegetables and pears should be very tender.
Let soup cool a bit and puree in batches in a food processor or blender. ( I find a blender gives a smoother puree). Pour soup into a clean pan.
Reheat over medium-low heat, unti very hot. Season with pepper and lemon juice.
Garnish with a dollop of plain nonfat yogurt and a small piece of rosemary.
