Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz (1 can) canned artichoke hearts
- 8 oz (1 can) canned sliced mushrooms
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 tsp (or to taste) black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, being careful not to burn it.
Drain the canned artichoke hearts and sliced mushrooms. Roughly chop the artichoke hearts into smaller pieces, if desired.
Add the butter to the pot and let it melt. Stir in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the chopped artichoke hearts, sliced mushrooms, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Warm through without letting the soup boil.
Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunks for texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
