Ingredients




4 Artichokes
2 large potatoes
4 Carrots
4 cups of Water
Salt and Pepper to taste

Vegetable Stock

Preparation

1 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. 2 Bring to a boil and cook for about 45 minutes. 3 Add salt, pepper and vegetable stock to flavor and simmer for an additional 15 minutes. 4 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. 5 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. 6 You can serve the soup with croutons, cheese, crackers, or alone.  Enjoy this amazing soup, a childhood favorite of mine.
