-
2 ripe pears, peeled, quartered and cored
-
2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 2-inch chunks
-
2 medium tomatoes, cored and quartered
-
1 large leek, pale green and white parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced and washed thoroughly
-
2 cloves garlic, crushed
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon salt, divided

Freshly ground pepper, to taste
-
4 cups vegetable broth, or reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided

2/3 cup crumbled Stilton, or other blue-veined cheese

1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh chives, or scallion greens
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Combine pears, squash, tomatoes, leek, garlic, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 40 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Cook the soup over medium-low heat, stirring, until hot, about 10 minutes. Divide among 6 bowls and garnish with cheese and chives (or scallion greens).
Tips
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Add more broth when reheating, if desired.
Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
