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 ARTICHOKE SOUP
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid bring about 1 inch water, lemon juice , and teaspoon salt to a boil.
- Meanwhile, cut the stems and thorns from the artichokes. Place the trimmed artichokes, stem-side down and standing, in the pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until a leaf pulls out easily from each artichoke, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Pull off and discard very dark green, outer leaves from the artichokes. Pull off remaining leaves and set aside. Cut off any fibrous dark green parts around outside of the heart. Use a spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke. Roughly chop the heart and put it in a blender or food processor. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
- Use a spoon to scrape off tender flesh from each leaf. Discard the scarped leaf and put the artichoke flesh in the blender with the hearts. Repeat with the remaining leaves.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the garlic to the blender with the artichokes. Set the pan aside.
- Whirl the artichokes with the broth until very smooth. You will need to let the blender run a bit for this to happen; whirl for at least 2 minutes. This will seem like a long time. Stick with it. You're looking for a smoother-than-smooth texture.
- Transfer the artichoke mixture to a large saucepan. Bring the puree to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Add the cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook just to heat the added cream.
- Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Half-fill a large bowl with water and add the lemon juice. Peel the artichokes, then toss the peelings with the vegetable oil in a bowl and set aside. Chop the artichokes into rough chunks and submerge them in the lemony water.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, and add the onion, potato, and seasoning. Drain the artichokes and stir them in. Cover the pan and sweat gently for 15 mins, stirring now and again.
- Pour in the stock, cover and simmer for 10-15 mins until the vegetables are completely tender. Whizz the soup in a blender or with a stick blender until very smooth, return to the pan, then add the cream and season to taste.
- Meanwhile, prepare the skins. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment (not foil, they will stick). Scatter the skins over, and roast for 10 mins. Turn them over, scatter with the Parmesan and rosemary and roast for 5 mins more or until crisp and dry, then season with a pinch of flaky salt and pepper. Serve the soup in bowls, add a swirl more cream (if you like) and top with the crisp skins.

CREAM OF JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE SOUP
A Jerusalem artichoke is a white-fleshed root related to the sunflower. It is not related to the thistle-like globe artichoke, even though they share a common name and taste rather similar. This soup is wonderfully rich and creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips:
- Use fresh artichokes: Fresh artichokes have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen artichokes. If you can't find fresh artichokes, canned or frozen artichokes will work in a pinch.
- Trim the artichokes properly: To trim artichokes, remove the tough outer leaves and the sharp tips of the leaves. You can also remove the choke, which is the fuzzy center of the artichoke.
- Cook the artichokes until they are tender: Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Choose a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes this soup so creamy and delicious. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese that will melt smoothly.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or thyme, will add a pop of flavor and color to the soup.
Conclusion:
Cream of artichoke soup is a delicious, easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover artichokes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a creamy, flavorful soup that the whole family will love.
