Ingredients
6 oz pecans
1 large garlic clove
4 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 salt & freshly ground pepper
Directions
This is a wonderful fall soup, and only 200 calories per serving.
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. ON a baking sheet, toast the pecans for 10-to-15
minutes, checking from time to time to prevent burning. Toss
occasionally. In a food processor, place the pecans, garlic and about
1/2 cup of the stock. Turn the processor on and, with the motor
running, add stock until you have a creamy consistency. (The mixture
will absorb the stock.) Pass the pecan-stock mixture through a sieve
into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the cream, season to taste
with salt and pepper and serve.
Servings: 4 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Later, there were a couple of interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich people of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in books on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Pecan Soup recipe.
