I wasn't a fan of this soup mainly for texture rather than taste reasons. It has a thick, grainy apple sauce like texture and thinning it with extra liquid didn't really help. I couldn't taste the pears at all; the soup tastes like a basic parsnip soup. For my time and effort, I would rather just have eaten the roasted vegetables.
Distinct flavor of the pear was welcomed. It was really good the first night, but I didn't appreciate the soup as much the second night. This soup was really easy to make and affordable to make.
Roasting the vegetables gives them a very interesting taste. We all loved it. To appreciate this soup you have to love parsnip, of course. This may be the reason for less enthusiastic comments.
