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.
