🍵 How to Make Artichoke Soup?
1. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the onion. Peel the potatoes and carrots and cut them into small cubes. Cut the artichokes into large pieces.
2. Sauté the Onion: Put the olive oil and butter in the pot. Add the onions and fry on medium heat until they turn pink.
3. Add the Vegetables: Add the carrots and potatoes to the onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the artichokes and mix.
4. Add the Water: Pour the vegetable or chicken stock into the pot. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cover the pot and cook on medium heat until the vegetables are soft (about 20-25 minutes).
5. Puree the Soup: After the vegetables are cooked, puree the soup with a hand blender until smooth.
6. Enrich with Milk or Cream: Add milk (or ½ cup cream if you prefer). Boil for another 2-3 minutes while stirring. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a small amount of hot water.
7. Serving: Serve hot. You can sprinkle finely chopped dill on top or serve with crusty bread.
📝 Tips
- You can soak the artichokes in lemon water to prevent them from darkening.
