Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.

Cook 4 globe artichokes as you normally do, let them cool.

Stage 2

Remove all the leaves, then with a small spoon and for each one, remove the flesh that you will deposit in a bowl.

You can proceed by placing the leaf on the work surface...

Stage 3

...or by holding it in your hand.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 10 min.

No secret, it's a bit tedious.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 3 min.

Remove the hay from the artichoke hearts, then cut them into small pieces and add them to the bowl.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 3 min.

Slice 2 shallots.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 20 g butter then add the minced shallots, salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 4 min.

Add the artichoke flesh, mix well, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 or 4 minutes.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 8 min.

Pour in 1 litre milk, add 1 bouquet garni, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 2 min.

After this time, remove from heat, add 200 ml cream and mix thoroughly.

Stage 11

Check the seasoning, your artichoke soup is ready.

Remarks

The cream in step 10 can be replaced by 2 tablespoons of cornstarch diluted in cold water and blended in with the mixer.

If you want a thicker soup, add 1 potato cooked with the artichokes in step 8.

If you don't have a bouquet garni, replace it with a vegetable or poultry stock cube.

Keeping: Several days in the refrigerator, in a closed jar.
