- In a large soup pot, heat the butter. Stir in onion, garlic, and pears and allow to sweat over medium-high heat till fragrant. Deglaze the pan with the wine, then stir in the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for an hour. Chop the cheese and stir in till it is completely melted into the broth. Puree, solids first. Whisk in the cream. Season with salt and pepper. Then refrigeratein the refrigerator till cool.
- When ready to serve, stir well, then ladle into bowls. Top each with a violet and a few cut pcs of chives.
- Serve cool as a delicate first course to 8 people.
- Comments: Cold and complex, savory and sweet, light and rich - the kind of soup to be eaten slowly with closed eyes and elegant music in the background. Unfortunately, one spoonful and the impulse is to pick up the bowl and drink it down. Besides the manners issue, not a good idea...if you're watching your weight, your cholesterol, or possibly your wallet, which is. Recommended to me by Canadian poet and novelist Jerry Newman (adapted from John Bishop's Cook Book), who says he's "crazy nutso" about it, could eat a bowl every day, and likes using different cheeses, including Parmesan. I agree on all 3 counts.
