Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup basmati or long-grain rice
6 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup diced celery (leaves and stalks)
1 (12-ounce) package frozen artichokes, thawed, or 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts
Pinch of ground cumin
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice thoroughly and place it, along with the water, in the slow cooker insert.
  • In a sauté pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion, celery, and artichokes over medium-high heat until just beginning to brown, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables to the water and rice, cover, and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the rice is tender. Add the cumin and 1/4 cup of the parsley to the soup.
  • In a medium bowl and using a whisk or a handheld immersion blender, beat the eggs and lemon juice together until frothy. Slowly add 2 ladles of broth, 1 ladle at a time, stirring constantly, to the lemon and egg mixture.
  • Add the lemon and broth mixture back into the soup, stirring constantly, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes more, or until heated through and beginning to thicken. (If you allow the soup to boil, the eggs will curdle.)

  • A nice Sauvignon Blanc or an artisanal Greek retsina, if you can find one, would pair well with this soup.

Steps:

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.

Categories     Cream Soups

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 c butter
1/2 c minced onion
1/2 c minced celery
1/2 c minced carrot
1 clove garlic (minced or pressed)
3 c chicken broth
2 c chopped (canned) artichoke hearts
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white pepper
1 lemon (cut in half)
3 c half-n-half

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in Saucepan, add onion, celery, carrot & garlic. Cook til onion & garlic are translucent.
  • 2. Stir in chicken broth, artichokes salt & pepper. Simme 10 minutes.
  • 3. Transfer to a blender container (I just use an immersion blender right in the pot)
  • 4. Return to saucepan. Squeeze 1/2 the lemon into the soup, put the other half right in the pot.
  • 5. Reduce heat, simmer on low 15 minutes. Remove the lemon half (try to squeeze juice out) Stir in half-n-half, simmer until hated thru.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh artichokes: Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size, with tightly closed leaves and no signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Prepare the artichokes properly: Trim the stem and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to artichokes, this soup can be made with a variety of other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Add some herbs and spices: To enhance the flavor of the soup, add some herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, garlic, and black pepper.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of both.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish: A dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil are all great ways to garnish this soup.

Conclusion:

Artichokes are gluten-free, high in fiber and antioxidants, and a good source of vitamins and minerals. Lemon is also a good source of vitamin C. This soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these two healthy ingredients. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as an appetizer.
