Roasted Winter Squash and Pear Soup with Crème and Fried Sage

While other recipes incorporate tart apple or spicy curry as a counterpoint flavor to highlight the sweet taste of the roasted squash, this innovative dish pairs the delicate, buttery, honey/tart flavor of roasted Bosc Pear, fruity white wine and fried sage for a new flavor twist. Elegant and refined, this slightly sweet, savory soup will please the palates of both finicky kids and adult foodies alike!
