Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
5 cups chicken broth
3 medium ripe pears, peeled and chopped
3/4 pound sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 3 cups)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Fresh pear slices, optional

Steps:

In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat; saute onion and garlic until tender, 7-9 minutes. Stir in flour and paprika until blended; cook and stir 2 minutes. Gradually stir in broth. Add chopped pears; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until pears are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or, cool slightly and puree soup in batches in a blender; return to pan. Add cheese and pepper; cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes. If desired, top with pear slices.
Yield: 8 servings (2 quarts).
