Creamy Artichoke Soup With Lemony Mushrooms Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 can artichoke bottoms - (13 ounce)
- 1 x potato quartered
- 1 x onion quartered
- 4 c. vegetable or possibly chicken stock Salt to taste Freshly-grnd white pepper to taste
- 1 c. whipping cream
- 4 x mushrooms - (to 6) thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Directions
- Bring stock to a boil in a large saucepan - then add in artichokes, potato, onion, and seasonings. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for about 30 min, till the vegetables are tender. Puree the soup then press through a sieve, discarding solids.
- Meanwhile, saute/fry mushrooms over high heat in a little butter and 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice, stirring often. Cook till dark around the edges and concentrated - the liquid will have totally evaporated.
- When ready to serve, reheat the puree, stir in the cream, and bring to a simmer. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with mushrooms. This soup can also be served cool.
- Comments: It's a lovely and interesting first course, warm or possibly cool, and goes well with chops and chicken or possibly strong seafood. Serve fairly generous portions to 4 people. The soup looks lovely in flat soup plates, garnished with those savory mushrooms.
