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.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, shallot, and the garlic and stir. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the artichokes, 2 cups of the stock (reserve 1 cup), herbs, 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 more of the stock as you blend the vegetables. Keep blending and use remaining stock.
- At this point you can blend until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine a little chunky to taste piece of artichoke. You can keep blending until it is more smooth if you desire.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, a few springs of parsley, and toasted bread.

Steps:
- Remove the sausage from it's casing, crumble and brown with the chopped onion in large soup pot over medium heat. Cut the artichoke hearts and the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot. Pour the chicken stock over the sausage and vegetables, then add the oregano, basil and fennel. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes. Add the pasta and cook for 15 minutes more, or until the pasta is al dente. Taste for seasoning, add more water, if desired, and serve. To smoke tomatoes: Place 1 heaping tablespoon of fine wood chips in the bottom of a stovetop smoker. Make an aluminum foil tray with raised edges to fit on top of the wire rack. Arrange fresh or canned tomatoes on the tray. Close the stovetop smoker almost tight. Place over one burner on medium-high. When a wisp of smoke escapes, close the stovetop smoker lid all the way, then start your timer. Your tomatoes are done when they have a good, smokey aroma and are slightly burnished, about 20 minutes.
