Its rich velvety texture will surprise everyone who tastes it.  A delicious soup, even my kids who do not eat artichokes love it after one spoonful, and it is ready in 25 minutes. Simple, healthy, and No Cream! Plus, it’s vegan, keto-friendly, and dairy-free. 

Everyone who tries this creamy artichoke soup – loves it!   

It is a no-fuss, simple recipe that creates a smooth and creamy texture. 

Best part?  It’s high in flavor and in nutrition, without all the calories and fat. 

So good for you, trust me – this soup is a keeper!

Reasons to love Artichokes…

Artichokes, as you know are loaded with high antioxidants, and vitamin C, plus high fiber and protein.  

Frozen Artichoke Hearts vs Fresh Whole Artichokes…

• Frozen Artichokes: Using frozen artichoke hearts instead of using fresh whole ones, will eliminate all the work to clean and prep them.  Besides, with this recipe, you get the same flavor and texture using the frozen ones.
• Plus, using frozen artichoke hearts helped me cut the labor and time to practically nothing – making this soup super easy to whip up for dinner.
• Fresh Artichoke Hearts: if you prefer to use fresh artichokes, you can, but they will need more time to cook and simmer. Also, if you are a newbie here, check out our tutorial on How To Clean Artichokes.

This soup is made with a simple saute of onion and garlic and artichokes hearts then simmered with veggie stock and potato.

In the end, the soup is pureed into a velvety smooth texture, and grated cheese is added for additional flavor.

The result is a deliciously thick, rich, and creamy artichoke soup that is loaded with the comforting flavors of artichoke.

How to Make Creamy Artichoke Soup?

To make this delicious artichoke soup you will only need a handful of ingredients, a soup pot, and 25 minutes. Gather all your ingredients, and let’s get started!

• Frozen Artichoke Hearts: depending on how many servings you will need, one 12-ounce package of artichoke hearts will work.

• Other Veggies: you will also need, fresh garlic cloves, and one onion at the start of the soup.

• Potato: one medium-sized baking potato is added to balance out the flavor and for additional cream texture.

• Liquids: some water and low-sodium vegetable broth or stock work best.

• Cheese: a sprinkle of grated pecorino cheese for an extra flavor. But omit it for dairy-free and vegan diets, and serve it at the table for others to add for extra flavor.

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: a small amount to saute the veggies for a few minutes, and before the liquids are added.

Great Tips for Success…

• In addition to simmering with water,  I prefer to use a low-sodium vegetable broth with this recipe.  It not only gives this soup additional flavor, but it allows the control of the amount of salt preferred.
• Another good tip to balance flavor with soup and texture is to add in a potato from time to time.  It lightens the flavor while enhancing the texture to a creamier consistency.  NO cream is ever needed!
• For even more flavor,  I tossed in a tablespoon of grated Pecorino cheese.  But you can leave it out if you want this soup to be dairy-free.

 

Creamy Artichoke Soup is so heavenly creamy, and flavorful – everyone will ask for the recipe! 

This is a wonderful soup to serve as a light starter during any busy weeknight.  It’s even elegant enough to serve guests at a dinner party. 

This soup is ready in 25 minutes or less. You can make-ahead, and reheat it just before serving.

It’s another ideal way to use your artichokes and to get your family to eat more of this healthy green vegetable.
