Pears and sharp cheddar have always been one of my favorite flavor combos. This recipe brings the two together in a creamy, delicious soup. I like to serve it with a warm baguette and fresh fruit for lunch or a light supper. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I really enjoyed this soup. The pears added a nice sweetness that balanced out the sharpness of the cheddar cheese. I will definitely be making this soup again.
