Simple Artichoke Soup

Recipe #205298 | 10 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 2 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Sandy in California

This soup is wonderful and quick to make for a meal starter. Also the best thing when you have a cold. A little spicy, a little citrusy. I've never measured when I make it so the oil, flour and spice amounts are estimates. If you want to make it lower fat you could just add some cornflower and water to the artichoke mix instead of using the flour and olive oil at the beginning (or if you want to make it thicker). This recipe can easily be doubled (and I usually do). Wonderful with toasted sourdough bread.
