How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Melt two tablespoons of butter.
- Cut the ends off the squashes, then halve them lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. (Microwaving them for a minute or so first will make them easy to cut.)
- Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet.
- Brush with butter and sprinkle with the brown sugar, half of the cinnamon, and salt to taste.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Chop the onion and pear, and sauté them in the remaining butter until they have softened.
- Remove from the heat and cool.
- When the squash has cooled enough for you to handle it, remove the skin and chop it into cubes.
- Add them to the onion and pear, top with the stock and water, and bring to a boil.
- Turn down the heat.
- Add the remaining spices, stir to combine, and reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- Turn the heat off and allow the soup to cool.
- Puree it with an immersion blender.
- Stir in the heavy cream.
- Reheat on low, but do not allow the soup to boil.
- Serve with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of parsley, if desired.

- Note: Most cinnamon you find in the spice aisle of your local store is Cassia cinnamon but Ceylon cinnamon carries the most health benefits.
