How to Prepare Creamy Ginger, Pear, and Butternut Squash Soup [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C, or gas mark 6). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Toss the squash, onion, garlic, and pears with oil on the baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown. Check midway and toss or rotate the pans to ensure everything is evenly cooked.
Add the broth to a large stockpot with the roasted vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Add the ginger, turmeric, and more salt and pepper to taste and blend with an immersion blender.
Alternatively, add everything to a blender. Blend until everything is well combined and the soup is smooth.
Serve your soup in bowls with garnishes (if using).
