Hello everyone - I also enjoyed the chilled pear soup on an Enchantment of the Seas cruise by Royal Carribbean. I found a recipe that comes about as close as you can get to RC's version. This is taken from Friendly Foods by Bro. Ron Picarski

8 pears - peeled, cored and diced
2 cups water
1/4 tsp sea salt
4T brown rice syrup (I've used sugar in mine - I don't care for brown rice syrup flavor)
1/2 tsp fresh or powdered ginger
1/4 tsp anise extract (optional - I don't believe it was in the RC version)

Bring pears, water and salt to a simmer. Add rice syrup and ginger. Simmer 3 minutes more. Allow to cool. Puree and serve chilled.

I believe this would be considered an appetizer - that was where it was listed on the menu. Enjoy, folks.
 
Pear Bisque to rival RC's

We ate that soup a couple years ago and have been replicating it this way and impressing our friends with it ever since. It's simple yet satisfying!

FIRST: Buy 2 cans of pears. Heavy syrup is fine.
NEXT: Dump one can into a flat bowl, cover and freeze.
THEN: Chill the other can in the fridge.
FINALLY: Roughly chop the frozen clump, put all pears in the blender and puree. Garnish as desired.

THAT'S IT!!! It tastes just like Royal Caribbean's. They may or may not put more in theirs, but this tastes the same. Try it!:chef:
