That's the book but it doesn't have the pear soup in it that I could see.

Anyway, welcome to DC, Chandx!!

I would love to find this recipe...has anyone had any luck finding it?

You could just try experimenting with some pear pulp and wine, vanilla pod, bit of sugar, simmer down for a bit, remove pod and chill, stir in some cream before serving. Or play with that or a chilled melon recipe to get the effect you want. I can't remember if it was meant to be a sweet or savoury soup.

Yum! I like the idea of having vanilla bean in there! I'll have to try my luck with this one! Thank you!

Oh thats embarrassing...I forgot that my username was in fact "VanillaBean." I must come clean...I've been craving a bowl of Vanilla Bean ice cream all day (if you've every had the Tillamook brand, it's the absolute best)!

This sounds so unique and delicious! I'm impressed!

I kid you not, I saw this on the internet just this morning! I've not been on a cruise yet, but when I saw this I decided to include it in the menu for an August tea party I am planning. The blogger said she simply mixed equal amounts of Goya and Kern pear nectars together! If you are looking to add additional flavors go ahead, the vanilla bean sounds like a superb touch ~ chill the nectars with it overnight? and then I'd garnish with a few berries. Hope this helps.

This looks interesting. Lets try..

I don't know... I think you could make this as a great desert

server over vanilla ice cream or freeze into a sorbet..

Heat until it's a little thicker, add cinnamon and pour over baked apples or pears then serve with ice cream......

I'm also looking for a recipe for the Royal Caribbean Chilled Pear Soup - I was on the Monarch of the Seas.
It was a chilled soup, first course. And it had some dried cranberries that were soaked in the soup and cut the sweetness a bit.
Wonderful soup - I don't think that it had any cream base and all I see on the internet are with a base of cream plus pears - WISH I COULD GET HOLD OF THIS RECIPE!
Anyone attempted it on their own let me know!

I didn't look at the recipe book - but I know someone who's going on the same ship next week and I'll ask her to look through the book to see if she can find it - if she does, I'll have her buy it and bring it back to me!
