Recipe: Roasted Sweet-Potato-Pear Soup
Description: This soup is the result of a happy accident. I was planning to roast some sweet potatoes to accompany a pork tenderloin, but found I only had two potatoes. I quartered a few pears to roast alongside, and the result was far better than the original planned dish. The leftovers became this soup. The ham adds a salty balance to the sweet, rich soup.
