Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (14 oz each) Del Monte canned artichoke hearts
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the Del Monte canned artichoke hearts. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and garlic, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the artichoke hearts, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Simmer for 10-12 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender in batches to blend until creamy.
Return the soup to the pot if blended in a countertop blender. Stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Heat through but do not boil.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
