Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, diced

1-quart low sodium chicken stock, or enough to cover
1 sprig rosemary
Heavy cream
Salt, freshly ground black pepper and granulated sugar

delish!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thoroughly enjoyed this fall favorite. I always like to modify a bit to make a recipe my own. Added 1 tables. of lemon... infused olive oil to the butter to soften the onion and 2 stalks of chopped celery, Also added about half tsp. lemon zest and a bit of the fresh lemon juce. It was pretty thick so added about a cup of half and half. Topped with few roasted pine nuts and sprig of rosemary. We really enjoyed the hint of lemon with the pears and butternut. Yummy!Read more
