CREAM OF SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:

• Start this creamy soup by adding six cups of chicken stock to a large soup pot and turn the heat on the stove-top to medium high.
• When the stock begins to boil, reduce the heat to low medium and add eight ounces frozen cut spinach, half a chopped yellow onion, one tablespoon of minced garlic and the drained, squeezed and cut artichokes. Simmer for ten minutes.
• Add the white salt and black pepper. Stir well.
• Cut the cream cheese into small slices. Each time you cut a slice off, add it to the pot. Stir well until it's totally melted, approximately 5 minutes.
• Add one pint of heavy cream to the pot and stir well. Simmer 5 more minutes.

ARTICHOKE PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Chop the carrot, celery and onion into almost a purée in a food processor. Set aside.
• Drain the artichoke hearts and reserve the liquid. Place the artichoke hearts in the food processor and purée, using some of the liquid if necessary to facilitate puréeing. Set aside.
• Heat up the olive oil in a large saucepan, then add the puréed carrot, celery and onion and cook on high heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly because they can burn easily. Add the puréed artichoke hearts and their liquid and 4 cups water. Bring the soup to a boil on high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan!
• Mix the cornstarch with 1 cup warm water in a small bowl, using your hands to make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved, then add the mixture to the soup and bring it back to boil. If the soup is too thick for your taste, add a bit more water; if it is too thin, add a bit more cornstarch mixed with water. Don't overdo it, because a bit of cornstarch goes a long way.
• Add the cream to the soup and stir, then remove the pot from the stove. Add the grated cheese to the soup a bit at the time, using a whisk to work it into the soup so that it doesn't form large clumps. Add 1 tablespoon salt, then taste the soup and, if you think it is necessary, add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
