Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 white onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 cups marinated artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
1 1/4 cups chicken broth or 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup champagne or 1/4 cup white wine
1 tablespoon brandy
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (fresh) or 3 tablespoons asiago cheese
fresh ground pepper
sugar, if desired
fresh Italian parsley (to garnish) or dill (to garnish)
nonfat plain yogurt (optional) or nonfat sour cream (optional)

Steps:

Sauté onions, garlic, and shallots in oil over medium heat until soft, about 2 minutes.
Add artichoke hearts, stock, wine, and brandy.
Bring to a boil, turn to the lowest setting, and simmer covered 10 minutes. If you want a smoother consistency, you can puree it at this time.
