8 thick slices sourdough bread
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for toasting bread
2 tablespoons salted butter
3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste

One 6.52-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
4 small burrata balls

Steps:

  • Lightly coat the bread with oil on both sides and place on a baking sheet. Bake until toasted and browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a soup pot over a medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the chicken, onion and garlic and cook until the onion starts to brown and the chicken is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir until everything is well coated. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato puree, chicken broth, beans, honey and oregano. Season with salt and pepper, then stir well and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the flavors are combined, about 10 minutes.

ARTICHOKE PARMESAN SOUP

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small carrot, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 celery stalk, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 small onion, cut into chunks
Two 14-ounce cans artichoke hearts in brine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup cornstarch, or more as needed
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

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.

Tomatoes, onions, pesto and cream--doesn't get any better that. A friend gave me this recipe that comes from a local upscale restaurant called Chef's Table. Excellent!

Provided by lisar

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 1 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
5 cups diced and seeded tomatoes (I used 3 14 oz. cans drained diced tomatoes-still winter where I live)
2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 cup basil pesto
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium large soup pot.
  • Add onions and cook over medium-low heat until completely translucent.

  • Add chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add whipping cream. Add pesto.
  • Blend to desired consistency with hand blender, food processor or blender.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. If fresh tomatoes are unavailable, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
  • If you don't have artichoke hearts on hand, you can use canned artichoke hearts instead. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will really make a difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Don't be afraid to add more garlic if you like. Garlic is a key flavor in this soup.
  • If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry. Just mix together equal parts cornstarch and water, then stir it into the soup until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Tuscan tomato artichoke soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
