Made this soup yesterday and everyone loved it! Easy to make and flavorful. A good way to use up some of our extra pear harvest :-)

Planning a Downton Abbey themed murder mystery dinner. Can’t wait to try this soup!

Okay, I wanted to wait until I made this to rate the recipe, and let me tell you, this was wonderful! I modified it slightly and kept it vegan. I started with a mirepoix, because I have a bunch of celery that I want to use. I made a triple batch of this soup so that I could freeze some for a quick dinner in the future. I let my mirepoix get a little bit of color to it, and I had an extra carrot, so it turned out a different color than your photo. I also added braised garlic. I didn’t have enough maple syrup, so I put in about 1/4 of what you called for, but I didn’t mind since I had the extra carrot. I added a bit more mustard, because I really liked the flavor it gave. I also didn’t have thyme, so I added parsley instead, and I think it made it really pop. I added Chinese 5 spice powder, which was such a good suggestion that I’m kicking myself for not using it for non-Asian dishes before now! I added powdered savory, white pepper, and I ended up using about 1/3 more broth than the recipe called for, because I was having a hard time blending the final product smoothly. 10/10, would recommend anytime!

This looks excellent! I’ve never actually seen Downton Abbey, which is quite frankly a little ridiculous, because it has so many checkboxes that I love: period costumes, beautiful old architecture, English accents, English culture, snobbery, drama, and period hairstyles! But the very first promo that I ever saw for it was some lady eviscerating another woman for being American, and it really rubbed me the wrong way, so I never watched it. I think I’m going to try this soup recipe without the maple syrup at first, with the option of adding it later. I love Grey Poupon but I rarely purchase it.

Do you just sprinkle the Five Spice Powder on top of the Creme Fraiche and how much? I can’t see where it is mentioned except in the heading. Thank you.
