Steps:
- Heat a large pot over medium-low heat and add the olive oil and butter. Add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the artichoke hearts and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Add the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the soup until the artichokes are very tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. They will begin to fall apart and almost melt into the soup.
- Very carefully transfer the soup to a blender (place a towel on top!) and blend until smooth. Pour the soup back into the pot.
- Stir the cream and crème fraiche into the soup. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 30 minutes - it will reduce a bit. Taste the soup and season it with more salt and pepper if needed. If it tastes too briney, you can stir in a bit more cream or crème fraiche (I'd go with ¼ cup).
- Serve the soup with a toast baguette slice on top. Add a grilled artichoke heart. Place a lemon wedge on the side for spritzing!

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and the garlic and stir. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the artichokes, stock, salt, and pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Using a handheld immersion blender, or in a blender in batches*, puree the soup. Add the 2 tablespoons mascarpone and blend again to combine. In a small bowl, stir the remaining 1/3 cup mascarpone to soften.
- Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Dollop the top of each of the soups with a spoonful of the softened mascarpone cheese and top the cheese with chives.
- * When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
CREAM OF ARTICHOKE SOUP
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid bring about 1 inch water, lemon juice , and teaspoon salt to a boil.
- Meanwhile, cut the stems and thorns from the artichokes. Place the trimmed artichokes, stem-side down and standing, in the pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until a leaf pulls out easily from each artichoke, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Pull off and discard very dark green, outer leaves from the artichokes. Pull off remaining leaves and set aside. Cut off any fibrous dark green parts around outside of the heart. Use a spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke. Roughly chop the heart and put it in a blender or food processor. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
- Use a spoon to scrape off tender flesh from each leaf. Discard the scarped leaf and put the artichoke flesh in the blender with the hearts. Repeat with the remaining leaves.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the garlic to the blender with the artichokes. Set the pan aside.
- Whirl the artichokes with the broth until very smooth. You will need to let the blender run a bit for this to happen; whirl for at least 2 minutes. This will seem like a long time. Stick with it. You're looking for a smoother-than-smooth texture.
- Transfer the artichoke mixture to a large saucepan. Bring the puree to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Add the cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook just to heat the added cream.
- Serve and enjoy!

CREAM OF JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE SOUP
A Jerusalem artichoke is a white-fleshed root related to the sunflower. It is not related to the thistle-like globe artichoke, even though they share a common name and taste rather similar. This soup is wonderfully rich and creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips:
- Use fresh artichokes. Fresh artichokes have a more delicate flavor and texture than canned or frozen artichokes. If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use canned or frozen artichokes, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Don't overcook the artichokes. Overcooked artichokes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth. The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water, but the soup will not be as flavorful.
- Add some cream or milk. Cream or milk will help to make the soup creamy and rich. You can use heavy cream, half-and-half, or even evaporated milk. If you are vegan, you can use coconut milk or almond milk.
- Season the soup to taste. Salt and pepper are the basic seasonings for cream of artichoke soup, but you can also add other seasonings to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Cream of artichoke soup can be served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, or chopped parsley.
Conclusion:
Cream of artichoke soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It can be served as a starter or main course, and it is also a great way to use up leftover artichokes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and creamy soup that the whole family will enjoy.
