Instrucțiuni

Step 1

In a large stock pot over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger and the turmeric and cook, stirring, until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Stir in the squash, pears, salt and pepper. Add the broth and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the squash is very tender, about 25 minutes.

Step 2

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup, or let cool slightly, then puree it in batches in a stand blender until smooth. Add a little water or additional broth, if needed, to thin the soup to your liking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt with water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until thin enough to drizzle.

Step 4

Ladle the soup in bowls, drizzle with the yogurt and serve hot.
