Best 5 Artichoke Lemon Soup Recipes

GREEK LEMON, ARTICHOKE, AND EGG SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse the rice thoroughly and place it, along with the water, in the slow cooker insert.
• In a sauté pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion, celery, and artichokes over medium-high heat until just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes.
• Add the vegetables to the water and rice, cover, and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the rice is tender. Add the cumin and 1/4 cup of the parsley to the soup.
• In a medium bowl and using a whisk or a handheld immersion blender, beat the eggs and lemon juice together until frothy. Slowly add 2 ladles of broth, 1 ladle at a time, stirring constantly, to the lemon and egg mixture.
• Add the lemon and broth mixture back into the soup, stirring constantly, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes more, or until heated through and beginning to thicken. (If you allow the soup to boil, the eggs will curdle.)
• Add salt and pepper to taste, ladle into bowls, garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup parsley, and serve immediately.
• Suggested Beverage
• A nice Sauvignon Blanc or an artisanal Greek retsina, if you can find one, would pair well with this soup.

When the vegetables are very soft, add the lemon zest, the artichokes and the bay leaf, sweat for 2 more minutes. Deglaze with white wine, reduce by 2/3 and then add the lemon juice and 2 to 3 cups of the artichoke juice and the parmesan rinds. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
