Late-Summer Harvest Soup

Late-Summer Harvest Soup balances gentle sweetness from buttercup squash, sweet potato, and nectarine with warm notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Greek yogurt brings a creamy tang, while Pecorino Romano adds a salty finish that ties everything together. Serve it warm for a cozy weeknight dinner or as a light starter at an end-of-season gathering.

Late-Summer Harvest Soup
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Set the butternut squash cut-side down in a baking dish; pour water into the dish around the squash.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the butternut squash bakes, put the yellow squash, sweet potato, nectarine, orange bell pepper, cucumber, and onion into a large pot with enough water to cover. Stir the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper into the vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the butternut squash from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Scoop out the inner pulp from the squash half and add it to the simmering soup. Continue simmering to meld the flavors for at least 15 minutes, then remove from the heat and drain the liquid.

  7. 7

    Place the cooked vegetables in a food processor and puree until smooth.

  8. 8

    Transfer the puree to a large saucepan over low heat. Stir the chicken broth and yogurt into the puree until well blended. Cover and simmer until incorporated, about 15 minutes, then remove from the heat; sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese. Serve.

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.
