Best 5 Chicken Artichoke Brie Soup Recipes

'SPRING CHICKEN' SOUP WITH ARTICHOKES, WHITE BEANS AND LEMONGRASS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 3-quart soup pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until tender and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Trim 1 inch away from the white end of the lemongrass, then cut off the green tops of the stalk and discard. Bash the lemongrass with the flat end of a meat mallet until the stalk is flattened. Cut the stalk in half, then slice one half lengthwise into strips, and finely mince the other half.
• Add the garlic and minced lemongrass to the pot, give a good stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the white beans, artichokes and soy sauce. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pinch of pepper and give another good stir. Add the Basic Chicken Stock and shredded chicken, drop the remaining lemongrass strips into the soup and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove any large lemongrass strips before serving. Garnish with freshly torn parsley or cilantro as desired.
• Cut the chicken carcass bones in half, through the backbone. Place all of the chicken bones into a soup pot along with the carrot, celery, onion and parsley stems. Pour water into the pot until all of the ingredients are covered. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low. Allow the stock to simmer over low heat, uncovered, occasionally skimming off any foam that forms on the top, for 2 hours.
• Strain the stock through a fine-mesh strainer. Discard the bones and vegetables. Use the stock immediately, or chill the stock overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, remove any fat and solids that have gathered on the surface. The stock will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or can be frozen for future use.

CREAMY ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and the garlic and stir. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the artichokes, stock, salt, and pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Using a handheld immersion blender, or in a blender in batches*, puree the soup. Add the 2 tablespoons mascarpone and blend again to combine. In a small bowl, stir the remaining 1/3 cup mascarpone to soften.
• Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Dollop the top of each of the soups with a spoonful of the softened mascarpone cheese and top the cheese with chives.
• * When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

CREAM OF CHICKEN AND ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat chicken broth and water in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Squeeze lemon juice in and stir. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add red bell pepper; grill until somewhat soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer red bell pepper to the stockpot; add tomatoes, artichokes, potato, carrot, celery, green onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Increase heat to high. Bring to a boil; cook until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in cream and wine.
• Fill blender halfway with the vegetable-broth mixture. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to puree. Pour into a separate pot. Repeat with remaining vegetable-broth mixture.
• Pour all the pureed mixture back into the original stockpot; add chicken and black pepper. Heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

CREAMY SPINACH-ARTICHOKE CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid scorching. Stir in the garlic.
• Pour in the stock and wine, and bring to a bubble. Add the chicken thighs, lemon juice and red-pepper flakes; season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• Add the frozen spinach and the artichoke hearts to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring to help the spinach defrost and wilt into the stew. When the spinach is warm and evenly distributed, reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is tender and the flavors are blended, another 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the cream cheese in dollops, stirring to melt it into the soup. Add the dill. Using two forks, coarsely break or shred the chicken into large chunks. Taste and add more salt and black pepper if necessary.
• Divide the stew among bowls, and top with scallions and Parmesan.
