825 g sliced pears, in natural pear juice, drained, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons light olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 skinless chicken breasts, diced or 125 g chicken strips, roughly chopped
4 cups chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons dry white wine
4 tablespoons natural low-fat yogurt

1
Drain the pears, chop into large chunks, discard the juice (or drink it!) and set aside.
2
Heat the oil in a large saute pan with a lid (preferably non-stick), add the onion, red pepper, celery and chicken and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, while stirring.
3
Add the stock and bring to the boil.
4
Reduce the heat to low, cover and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until the onion, red pepper and celery are soft.
5
Add the pears, cinnamon, ginger and white wine. This cools the soup down so that you that you really don't need to allow much more time for cooling before you process the soup.
6
Puree the soup in batches in a food processor or blender until smooth, transferring each batch to your serving bowl.
7
When all batches have been processed, mix the soup well to ensure that the consistency is even.
8
Cool the soup in the refrigerator until well chilled.
9
To serve, divide the soup between 4 soup bowls and place a dollop of yoghurt in the middle of each bowl and garnish with a sprig of parsley, mint or some other fresh herb that you have on hand.
