Sure! Here is the summary, tips, and conclusion:

Tips:

  • Choose fresh artichokes for the best flavor. Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves.
  • To prepare the artichokes, cut off the stem and the top inch of the leaves. Then, use a sharp knife to trim away the tough outer leaves until you reach the pale green heart of the artichoke.
  • To make the soup, add the artichokes, onion, garlic, and broth to a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender.
  • Once the artichokes are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Or, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender and puree it in batches.
  • Stir in the cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh mint leaves before serving.

Conclusion:

Artichoke soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a starter or main course. It's also a great way to use up leftover artichokes. This recipe for artichoke soup with fresh mint is simple to make and packed with flavor. The artichokes are simmered in vegetable broth until tender, then pureed until smooth. The addition of cream, Parmesan cheese, and fresh mint gives the soup a rich and creamy flavor. Serve this soup hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
