Ingredients

4 Artichokes

2 large potatoes

4 Carrots

4 cups of Water

Salt and Pepper to taste

Vegetable Stock

Preparation

Take apart the artichokes cleaning out the hairs from the artichoke heart (fuzzy choke from each artichoke bottom) very well and place them in a pot together with the carrots and the potatoes.

Bring to a boil and cook for about 45 minutes.

Add salt, pepper and vegetable stock to flavor and simmer for an additional 15 minutes.

Once the soup has cooled down, puree it in a blender and return to the pot as you strain the liquid and the remains of the artichokes.

This is a very easy way to make it and you can find more complicated ways to make this soup. This way it was just as I remembered it from my childhood years.

You can serve the soup with croutons, cheese, crackers, or alone. Enjoy this amazing soup, a childhood favorite of mine.
