       @welshpixie Pears? In soup? Hmm ... sounds odd. I really want to try this now.

       @Mayana It's nice! I put apples in butternut soup often, but it has to be sour green apples like Granny Smiths. The sweetness of the pears in this one compliments the onions and leeks nicely ^.^

       @welshpixie I suppose I can see how this might work. I just associate fruit with desserts because that's what the tradition here is, lol. Time to change that.

       @verity I've looked up what type of pears we usually get in supermarkets in South Africa and I think these were Packham's Triumph :)
