Ingredients:
  • 3 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 teaspoon curry powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon celery salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 0.33333334326744 pound small shrimp - peeled and deveined
  • 2 pears - peeled, cored and diced

Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, mix cubed squash, milk, and chicken broth. Season with salt, pepper, curry powder, celery salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 30 minutes until squash is tender, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  • Place half of the shrimp and half of the pears in the soup pot and gently bring it to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until the shrimp turns opaque. Blend the soup until smooth, then return it to the pot and gently simmer over medium-low heat.
  • Combine the rest of the shrimp and pears into the soup and simmer for another 5 minutes until the shrimp turns opaque. Stir in sherry wine, then remove from heat. Serve in bowls and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
