Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Artichokes and Broth

    Add the artichoke hearts to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a traditional blender, allow the mixture to cool slightly before blending in batches.

  4. 4

    Add Cream and Lemon Juice

    Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat through for another 5 minutes, but do not let it boil.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
