Categories     Soup

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 sweet onion, (diced)
2 garlic cloves, (minced)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
2 14 ounce cans DeLallo Foods Artichoke Hearts in brine, drained and rinsed
3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ cup crème fraiche
1 baguette, (sliced and toasted, for serving)
1 jar DeLallo Foods grilled artichokes hearts. (for garnish)
lemon wedges for spritzing

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot over medium-low heat and add the olive oil and butter. Add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the artichoke hearts and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the soup until the artichokes are very tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. They will begin to fall apart and almost melt into the soup.
  • Very carefully transfer the soup to a blender (place a towel on top!) and blend until smooth. Pour the soup back into the pot.
  • Stir the cream and crème fraiche into the soup. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 30 minutes - it will reduce a bit. Taste the soup and season it with more salt and pepper if needed. If it tastes too briney, you can stir in a bit more cream or crème fraiche (I'd go with ¼ cup).
  • Serve the soup with a toast baguette slice on top. Add a grilled artichoke heart. Place a lemon wedge on the side for spritzing!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of artichokes. Fresh, canned, and frozen artichokes can all be used in this soup. If using fresh artichokes, be sure to trim and clean them properly before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the artichokes. Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked artichokes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for a bit of acidity.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

Cream of artichoke soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed as a starter, main course, or side dish. It's perfect for a cold winter day or a light summer lunch. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and hearty ingredients, cream of artichoke soup is sure to please everyone at the table.
