Ingredients
- 400 g artichoke hearts (canned or frozen, drained)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 750 ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 4
Stir in the artichoke hearts and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 6
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the mixture to a blender in batches to puree.
Step 7
Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently on low, making sure not to boil.
Step 8
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
