Author Notes: This is my go-to feel good recipe to chase away any cold weather blues. The richness of the coconut milk, warmth of the curry, and the nuttiness of the pistachios come together to form a perfect symphony. A favorite variation of mine is to use pears, which has a sweeter and less tart quality than apples, making this one of my favorite things to make in the Fall. - Experimental Culinary Pursuits

We had this delicious soup for dinner tonight with toasted brie sandwiches. I love the sweet pear flavor with the butternut squash and the creamy addition of coconut milk. My only addition was 1/2 onion that I sauteed with the chopped pears.
