Toast the pecans. I normally use a skillet or put them in the oven if I have it on. This should take just a few minutes.
Melt the butter in a small pot and sweat the onion and the celery. Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt.
When the onion is almost transparent, add the garlic and almost immediately add the cream cheese and the milk. Let it come to a boil and add the chicken stock.
Mix the lot and put it in the blender together with the toasted pecans.
Be careful when you turn your blender on. It’s hot.
Put everything back in the pot and let it come to a simmer. Season with salt and white pepper.
