PECAN SOUP RECIPE
This velvety, rich dish is like chestnut soup with Southern flair, thanks to the delicious (and crunchy) addition of a protein powerhouse ingredient: toasted pecans. We know that pecans are incredibly delicious in desserts and on top of a fresh, crisp salad, but this recipe proves how versatile pecans can be in a savory bowl of soup. Although the star of the meal is the pecans, the celery, onions, and potatoes shine here, too. It's fairly easy to make and ready in about an hour. Because only nine ingredients are used in this recipe, you can make it ahead to enjoy on hectic weeknights. To toast the pecan halves, place them in a 400 degree oven for roughly 6 to 8 minutes. Then, remove the pecan halves from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. You'll grind the pecans later along with the other ingredients of the soup mixture for a smooth finish. Finally, garnish this creamy and nutty soup with crème fraîche, chopped chives, or additional toasted pecan halves. It's a dish that is guaranteed to add a bit of sophistication and luxury to your dinner party or gatherings. Ladle it into small cups and serve as a first course or appetizer.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in granulated and brown sugars, salt, and sour cream. Raise heat to medium-low, and cook, whisking frequently, until sugar has dissolved. Raise heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping sides of pan with a spatula, until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (240 degrees), 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Carefully stir in bourbon and vanilla (mixture will steam and bubble). Let cool, without stirring, for 2 minutes. Add pecans, and beat vigorously with a spoon until slightly opaque but still creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Drop spoonfuls onto baking sheet. (If mixture in pan begins to harden, stir in 1 teaspoon hot water, as often as needed; if it becomes runny, stir until firm.) Let stand until set, about 30 minutes.

- Pour the chicken stock into the pot and whisk in the tomato paste, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Turn the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.

- Set aside 2 cups of soup. Pour the rest of the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full.
