As the nights get cooler and we get the kids ready to go back to school, it feels good to put a few soups back on the menu. Soup is comfort food, and this recipe makes the most of those luscious autumn pears. You can turn it into a full meal by adding leftover white beans or chicken. The best part is the topping – dried cranberries and almonds.
