Artichoke soup
Artichokes is one of those vegetables that I eat way too little of. As a half Italian I feel a bit ashamed because artichokes are such a delicious vegetable. So i’ve set myself a goal of eating it more in creative ways. I had this big bag of frozen artichoke bottoms in my freezer that were there for ages and since it’s winter aka soup season, what better way than to add them into a delicious creamy soup. The ingredients are simple and you probably already have them in your pantry!
Recipe

Ingredients
1 leek, cleaned and chopped
2 shallots, chopped
