Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




8 large artichokes, rinsed and cooked. Reserve cooking water
10 cups water
1 chicken bouillon cube
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
5 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup undiluted evaporated milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Pepper


Recipe



Strain artichoke’s cooking liquid. Measure liquid in cups and add water, only if necessary, to complete 7 cups.

Remove meat from artichoke leaves and cut hearts in 4.

Melt butter in a large saucepan and stir in flour. Cook 1 or 2 minutes and add gradually part of the cooking liquid.

Stir in milk and bring to a boil until a medium béchamel sauce is obtained. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

Add artichokes and the chicken bouillon to the sauce. Add remaining cooking liquid.

Blend mixture (in blender) in batches. If mixture is too thick, add 1 cup water or less.

Return to heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook 5 minutes approximately.

Stir in parmesan cheese and pour olive oil. Mix thoroughly and correct seasoning. Serve in individual soup bowls.

Optional: Serve with croutons.
