Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans Canned artichoke hearts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium-sized, diced Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup, grated (optional) Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish, optional) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned artichoke hearts. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the drained artichoke hearts and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches to avoid splatters.
Return the soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender). Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for a richer flavor.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
