Method

Soup

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soup Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Artichokes

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and chopped artichoke hearts, cooking for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Simmer with Broth

    Add the vegetable broth, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blend and Finish

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and heat gently before serving.

Sandwich

    Toast the Bread (Optional)

    If desired, toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread and mustard on another. Layer with turkey or ham, cheese, lettuce, and tomato slices.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the second slice of bread, cut in half, and serve.
