I was organizing my pantry last Sunday and found a can of artichoke hearts. Well what can I say, any dish with artichokes are favorite for me and my husband. Two dishes I had in my mind was artichoke spinach dip and artichoke soup. I was lazy enough to go grocery shopping for mayonnaise and spinach which I was running short of, never the less I had all the ingredients for the soup at home and hence prepared this hot artichoke soup for our wonderful evening.
Serves- 3 to 4
Ingredients:
Artichoke hearts- 8 oz can
Leeks-2, white part
Potato– 1 medium peeled
Garlic– 1 clove
Vegetable broth- 3 cups
Heavy cream– ½ cup
Olive oil– 4 tbsp
Salt – to taste
Pepper- ½ tsp
Preparation:
Chop Potatoes, white part of leek, garlic and keep aside.
In a medium saucepan, Heat olive oil, add chopped leek and garlic.Sauté until translucent. Add potatoes, artichoke hearts and broth. Sprinkle salt and pepper, cover the pan and boil it for 20 minutes.
Once cooled blend everything together with heavy cream. Bring the blended mixture to heat and serve hot!
