    Souper! Pears disappear in FLA, so I substitute apples the rest of the year. I'm going to be creative this week and make the soup for my food swap group. A seasonal balsamic vinegar with maple from Kalamazoo Olive Co is great on sweet potato. I think it will be a perfect complement for your soup! - 12/31/13
