2 firm bosc pears, peeled, seeds removed and sliced into thin slices (roughly one inch long)<\/p>\n

4 C. vegetable broth<\/p>\n

Preheat a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil and saut\u00e9 the onions and peppers for about 10 minutes, or until onions just begin to brown. Add the ginger and garlic and saut\u00e9 a minute more. Add the salt, Chinese five spice, acorn squash and pear and cook for another minute, stirring often. Add the vegetable broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, set the heat to medium-low to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Puree half the soup by transferring half the soup to a food processor or blender and then back into the rest of the soup. Add the adzuki beans and lime. Cover and simmer on low, just until the beans are heated through. While the soup is heating, prepare the mushrooms. Preheat a heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat. Add the oils and saut\u00e9 the mushrooms for about 7 minutes, until they are soft. Add the soy sauce and stir constantly until the soy sauce is absorbed (about 1 minute). Ladle soup into bowls and top with saut\u00e9d mushrooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
