Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 Roma tomatoes
1 red bell pepper
4 whole artichoke hearts, on skewer
Vegetable oil
1 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup cream
Several sprigs cilantro, leaf only, chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Suggested garnishes are Cotija or Manchego cheeses, toasted pumpkin seeds or pine nuts.

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill.
  • Coat the tomatoes, bell peppers and artichoke hearts lightly with oil, place on grill just away from the hottest spot. Turn occasionally with tongs to sear all surfaces. Remove to a dish to let cool. Reserve any juices that accumulate.
  • In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic with butter over medium heat, stirring. In a food processor, small chop the grilled vegetables. In saucepan with onion/garlic mixture, add vegetable stock, cream, grilled vegetables, and cilantro. Bring to simmer, stir to heat evenly. Combine cornstarch and water in a small separate bowl. Slowly add to saucepan while stirring to combine. The sauce will thicken slightly in 1 to 2 minutes to desired consistency. Add more cornstarch or water if necessary.
  • Add salt, dash with pepper, to taste. Serve with suggested garnishes, if desired.

ARTICHOKE BISQUE

This is one of my favorite soups. It is so rich and the flavors so subtle. Bleu cheese when melted becomes very mellow in flavor. If you love bleu cheese, you will love this soup.
