Sweet Potato and Pear Soup
Sweet potato and pear are such a good match. This is a slightly sweeter soup than what you may be used to, but it's so delicious we are sure this will be a new favourite. This is a perfect starter to any dinner party, especially if followed by white meat.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "The subtle hint of pear gives a slight sweetness, and the crunch and saltiness of the prosciutto makes a very delicious soup. I loved it." - Lesley
