Combine the cubed squash, milk, and chicken broth in a saucepan. Season with salt, pepper, curry powder, celery salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the milk from scorching, until the squash is tender.

Add 1/2 the shrimp and 1/2 the pears to the soup and bring it to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the shrimp is opaque. Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Return it to the saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
