@Danielle Thanks. Like I said, I wanted to do this recipe because it sounded so glamorous that I wanted to serve it from home. The mint was a VERY nice touch and the crispy bacon was a great texture contrast.

@Cathy I failed at not eating the ingredients. I eat several strips of bacon before the soup was done. In retrospect, I should have done hot bacon on top of cold soup. Next time!

@Cheryl Thanks! I love Let’s Lunch! And this time I got my article done in time for lunch!

@Chowgirl Chef… As near as I can tell, bacon makes everything better.

Pears are such a classy ingredient and I’m sure it was the perfect foil for the bacon (!) and mint. Genius!

I was saying the same thing as Cheryl before I got the comment section open; you had me at Pears and Bacon. Great combo, wonder if I could make the soup before eating the ingredients first. Love it.

You had me at “bacon.”

This sounds seriously delicious. Bacon and pears? I’m in! So glad you’re part of the Let’s Lunch bunch…

Chris, I LOVE the pear + bacon combo — is there anything that doesn’t go with bacon? Great recipe. Thanks for sharing this with us!
