This is Ida's choice~ here is her recipe.
Cream of Artichoke Soup
3 Tbs butter
4Tbs minced shallots
1 1/2 Tbs flour
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
3 cans artichokes (drained)
1 cup half & half
Melt butter in a skillet over med heat, allowing to brown just lightly. Add shallots and saute briefly till softened. Stir in flour and cook 2-3 min.
Heat stock in a 2qt saucepan. Add flour mixture, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 3-5 min.
Puree artichokes in a food processor. Add thickened chicken stock and half &half. Blend about 30 seconds.
Season with salt & pepper. Serve hot or cold. I serve it hot.
Can be made ahead and refrigerated.
I have had artichoke soup many times, but had never thought to make it myself. It can't get any easier than this! Canned artichokes and cream with a few shallots and broth. The soup was yummy but it did have a flavor of canned artichokes... next time I will grab a bag of frozen artichokes instead.
We had it with a pizza margherita. It won't be long now, and we'll be having a meal like this at the villa in Montisi!!
I will post a round up of all the Sunday Slow Soups tomorrow.
Y'all enjoy!

Oh yummy! That soup looks so good and the pizza - what a great combo.
Hope you have a wonderful week.
Blessings,

I never thought to make this soup but like you have had it when eating out.
Would it have helped maybe to rinse the canned artichokes?
Pat~ they were great together
Francie~ you can always find the recipes on my side bar.
Sandy~ we do pizza almost once a week. It is to quick and easy.
Doodles~ I did drain and rinse the artichokes. It is possible that they had been sitting on the shelf at the piggly wiggly for a while... there must not be much a demand for $4 cans of artichokes.
i didnt know we could make soup with artichoke. i lovvvvvvvvvvvvw artichoke, gotta try it.
