Ingredients:

2 1/4 cup Shelled pecans
2 tbsp Unsalted butter
1/4 cup Chopped shallot
1 cup Leek, chopped, white portion only
1/2 cup Chopped fennel bulb, or celery
1/4 cup Light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
1 tbsp Chopped fresh thyme
1 Bay leaf
6 cup Chicken broth, low salt, canned
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
3/4 cup Whipping cream
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Bourbon, or sherry

Instructions:

Spread the pecans in an ovenproof pan and toast in the oven, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Chop coarsely and set aside. In a soup pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the shallot, leek, and fennel or celery and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add 2 cups of the toasted pecans (reserve the rest for garnish), brown sugar, cinnamon, thyme, and bay leaf and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Stir in the broth and bring almost to a boil over medium heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the pecans are very tender, about 2 hours. Discard the bay leaf. Working in batches, if necessary, transfer the soup to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Pour the soup into a clean pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the cream, Worcestershire, and bourbon or sherry and simmer until the alcohol is evaporated about 2 minutes. To serve hot, ladle into preheated soup bowls and garnish with the reserved toasted pecans. Alternatively, pour into a container and refrigerate, uncovered, until cool, then tightly cover and store for up to 3 days. Slowly reheat before garnishing and serving; do not boil. To serve cold, pour into a container and refrigerate, uncovered, until cool, then tightly cover and chill for at least 2 hours or as long as 3 days. Remove from the refrigerator about 25 minutes before serving. Ladle into chilled bowls and garnish.

Serves 6 to 8 as a soup course, or 3 or 4 as a main dish.
