Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of creamy butter
- ½ cup of finely minced onion
- 3 tablespoons of garlic, skillfully minced
- 6 cups of rich and flavorful chicken stock
- A can of tomato paste, 6 ounces of pure essence
- 2 cups of velvety heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice for a zesty touch
- 3 cups of wholesome pecan pieces
- 3 tablespoons of finely chopped chipotle chile in adobo sauce, adding a smoky flair
- A sprinkle of salt to elevate the flavors
- ¼ cup of chopped pecans, serving as a delightful garnish
Step 1
Begin by melting the butter in a generously sized saucepan placed over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic until they become soft and fragrant, taking care not to let them brown, for approximately 5 minutes.
Step 2
Next, pour the chicken stock into the pot and gently whisk in the tomato paste, rich heavy cream, and a splash of zesty lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and let the soup come to a rolling boil. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, then add the 3 cups of pecan pieces and the finely chopped chipotle peppers. Allow the soup to simmer until the pecans have softened, which should take around 30 minutes.
Step 3
Reserve 2 cups of the soup for later. Transfer the remaining soup to a blender, ensuring not to fill it more than halfway. Secure the blender lid with a folded kitchen towel and start blending cautiously, pulsing a few times to start the pureeing process. Blend in batches until the mixture is velvety smooth, then transfer back into a clean pot. Alternatively, you can use a hand blender directly in the pot for a smoother texture.
Step 4
Reintroduce the reserved 2 cups of soup into the pot and gently heat until simmering. Season with salt to your liking. Serve the soup piping hot, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped pecans for an added crunch and visual appeal.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your savory spiced pecans in an airtight container to maintain their crunch and flavor intensity.
- 2. Consider storing the soup base separately from the pecans to prevent sogginess. This will also allow you to adjust the spice level to your liking before combining the two.
