Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 Onions (sliced)
2 Cups Garlic (sliced)
5 Stalks Celery (sliced)
1 Large Leek (sliced)
4 Lemons (zest & juice)
1 Bunch Parsley (washed)
1 Bay Leaf
1 Tbsp Peppercorns, Black
Salt (to taste)
1 Can (12-15 large pieces) Artichokes (reserve juice as well)
2 Cups White Wine
3 Gallons Chicken Stock
1 Pound Parmesan Rinds (broken in piece
1/2 Pound Butter
2 1/2 Cups Olive Oil
1 Cup Heavy Cream
Garnishes:
Marinated Artichokes
Marinated Sauteed Chicken
Ricotta Dumplings

Steps:

  • Begin by warming the butter and olive oil in the pan, add the onions, garlic, celery and leeks, season with salt and add the peppercorns. Cook very gently, avoiding color on the vegetables. When the vegetables are very soft, add the lemon zest, the artichokes and the bay leaf, sweat for 2 more minutes. Deglaze with white wine, reduce by 2/3 and then add the lemon juice and 2 to 3 cups of the artichoke juice and the parmesan rinds. Let simmer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes add the chicken stock and check the seasonings again. There should be a lemon taste to the soup. Reduce this by 1⁄4 and then add the heavy cream. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes more, then puree in a blender and pass through a strainer. Serve hot with marinated artichokes, chicken and the ricotta dumplings.

This soup was a great way to use up some leftover artichokes. The lemon and herbs added a bright and refreshing flavor, and the creamy texture was very satisfying. I would definitely make this soup again.

Overall, this soup was a bit disappointing. The flavor was just okay and the texture was a bit too thick for my liking. I probably won't be making this recipe again.

This soup was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think it would have been better if it had been made with a lighter broth or if the artichokes had been roasted instead of boiled.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more herbs or spices to give it more flavor. The texture was good, but the flavor was just a bit too mild for me.

This soup was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The artichokes were cooked perfectly and the texture was great, but I would probably use less lemon next time.
