Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large white onion, big dice
4-6 garlic cloves, rough chopped
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 cup potatoes, thinly sliced or diced- or sub cauliflower, or more artichoke hearts
1 x 12-ounce bag frozen artichoke hearts ( or sub fresh hearts, or jarred, see notes)
3 cups veggie broth
1/3 cup cashews- optional ( see notes)
1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
6 sage leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
a squeeze of lemon, to taste
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Sauté the onion in olive oil, over medium-high heat in a pot, stirring for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and lower heat to medium. Cook garlic until fragrant, 2-3 more minutes. Add celery, sauté 1 minute. Add potatoes, artichoke hearts, broth, optional cashews, salt and sage (or thyme).
  • Bring to a boil, cover, lower heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender about 15 minutes.
  • Blend in 2 batches, for a full minute each, making sure those silky fibers get all blended up. I will often give the soup a taste right from the blender to see if it is still fibrous. If so, keep blending, they will go away, I promise!!!
  • Place back in the pot over very low heat. Add a little squeeze of lemon, and swirl in sour cream if using.
  • Taste, and adjust salt and lemon to taste.
  • Season with pepper.
  • Serve in bowls with a sprig of thyme a swirl of sour cream or vegan sour cream (see note) and a drizzle of truffle oil to elevate. A light sprinkling of black salt adds a nice contrast, or add croutons, toasted pinenuts, vegan cheesy sprinkle.
