We loved this recipe! I've never made poached pears before and was pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of it - and the awesome results. It was delicious! I topped the pears with homemade Cardamom Cream (Just 1 cup heavy cream,1 Tbsp superfine sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom whipped until stiff peaks form)It was a very interesting, delicious pairing!

AMAZING!!! We loved this soup! I made my own broth the normal chicken soup way and after all the ingredients were mixed and creamy I left it in the crock pot adding about 2tsp each (that's because I doubled the recipe - only use 1 tsp if using the recipe as is) of ground thyme, poultry seasoning and salt. I also added the leftover white rice I had in the fridge. You can season to your liking - either way there's no going wrong with this soup. Even my 10 year old loved it and he's not a huge soup fan. :)

This was a total hit! I used it as a cheesecake topping and it was amazing! We used the leftovers on pancakes and ice cream and just as great all around. I only used 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and it was perfectly syrupy at that! This is one for the recipe box!
