Roasted Pear-Butternut Soup with Crumbled Stilton

From EatingWell: October/November 2006

Here pears are roasted to sweet perfection with butternut squash and pureed to create a creamy soup that gets a luxurious garnish of Stilton cheese. You can serve this as a first course or with a salad and crusty bread for a light autumn supper.

READER'S COMMENT:

"The flavor of this soup was really great...and it was the first time I'd ever roasted a pear. Unfortunately, mine had that "grainy" pear texture. I used Bosc pears, which are pretty hard and generally gritty in texture. I would recommend...

Skip the chicken stock. Just crumble the Stilton onto the roasted fruit and vegetables and enjoy the unadulterated flavors.

Very good. I liked the fact that it used fruits and veggies that came into my local farm market at the same time. I found I had to roast the mixture a little longer to bring out the roasted taste, as my tomatoes and pears were very juicy.

Very easy to make, but nothing without the stilton cheese. I am the queen of butternut squash soup, and love pears, but without the cheese it was only okay. With the cheese it was fabulous.

I thought this soup was much better the next day--luckily being just two of us we had plenty of leftovers. The Stilton really makes the soup. I don't have fresh tomatoes on hand in November, so I used canned tomato sauce and only used 1/2 the salt called for in the recipe. Used onions instead of leeks and tons more garlic and roasted some carrots along with the pears and squash. This is the kind of recipe that you can play around with. Next time I think I'll try it with vegetarian chicken broth, since I found the veggie broth to be a little overpowering.
