Did you say BEER? Hey this has got to be good and interesting, never had pears in a soup before! I have to try this one for sure! Thanks!

This sounds interesting. I use apples in butternut squash soup, so I am anxious to try this with pears. Fall...it is definitely soup time. Great post.

Hi! JoyMarie,
I made this soup for lunch. I substituted the chicken for cooked sausage meat (without the casing)(I did not have cooked chicken on hand) and used 1/4 tsp of red pepper. It was terrific, creamy, cheesy, ricey, peary and very satisfying. I will definitely make it again. High 5! Thanks for posting.
