Directions
Chilled Pear and Chicken Soup, A flavoursome light soup that is served chilled A delicious choice for summer dining Its ideal before a heavier main course or served for lunch with warm crusty bread rolls This recipe has been in my Word files for some years Unfortunately when I first saved it, I did not include any indication of its source All I know is that it is clearly from an Australian website and that the original recipe was Catherine Saxelbys Thank you, Catherine What I have posted here is my adaptation of Catherine Saxelbys recipe I have added several ingredients and changed several others Im sure that you will do the same when you make it I have not, however, tried it as a warm soup, probably because I have only ever made it in summer Please let me know what its like if you DO serve this warm , Made as written The texture was getting us, blended as described and after discovering we did not like the texture blended a second time better, but still not to our liking It is a cool soup with a very strong chicken flavor If making aging I would cut the chicken in half DH said it was a nice cool light supper after a hot day in the yard As for myself enjoyed the pear and ginger part just felt it was over powered by the chicken Made for Newest Tag Game
