Ingredients

• 2 15-ounce cans Canned artichoke hearts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium-sized, diced Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup, grated (optional) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish, optional) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned artichoke hearts. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the drained artichoke hearts and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches to avoid splatters.

Step 7

Return the soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender). Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for a richer flavor.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
