Artichoke Soup image

A nice, thick, homey soup recipe I got from my sister-in-law. My first attempt at soup and I was very pleased with it. SO very good on a cold winters night! Can also be used as a great dip for veggies/bread at parties!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup butter
½ cup chopped carrots
½ cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
3 (14 ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained and cut into fourths
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried sage
1 dash paprika
1 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in carrots, celery, onion, and mushrooms. Cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add flour; cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in chicken broth, artichoke hearts, bay leaf, salt, pepper, thyme leaves, oregano leaves, sage, and paprika. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Beat whipping cream in a bowl on medium-high speed until frothy; fold into soup and continue to cook until soup is heated through (do not boil).
  • Remove and discard the bay leaf, then pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
