Dean Fearing's Dallas Thanksgiving Dinner
Chef Dean Fearing celebrates Thanksgiving with superb dishes like gingered butternut squash and an extraordinary pecan pie.
Gingered Butternut Squash Soup with Spicy Pecan Cream
Fearing loves the holiday feel of butternut squash, especially when it's combined with ginger, as it is for his smooth, gently sweet soup. He tops it with whipped cream flecked with chopped pecans for a number of reasons: “Usually holiday soups have a dollop of cream—adding pecans gives it a dollop of flavor. And crunch. I think everything should have a little bit of crunch to it. Plus, this is Texas, and pecans are Texas.”
