Acorn Squash, Pear and Azuki Soup With Sauteed Shiitakes, A fresh hearty soup, studded with pretty red azuki beans and just a hint of fragrant five spice. Salty, chewy sesame shiitakesadorn the soup and pull all the flavors together. Prepping the squash may be a hassle, but after that it goes together fast. From Post Punk Kitchen.

Use a paring knife to slice off the skin then cut as per the recipe. To remove the seeds from the pear, peel and slice in half, then use a measuring teaspoon to scoop them out., A fresh hearty soup, studded with pretty red azuki beans and just a hint of fragrant five spice.
