Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 14-oz. jar/can artichoke hearts
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a soup pot, melt butter; add onion and garlic and cook till onion is translucent. Slowly whisk in flour (no lumps), then gradually add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add drained artichoke hearts; reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer half of the soup to a blender and puree (use a slotted spoon in order to include some of the non-liquid ingredients). Add this mixture back to the soup pot. Blend well, then add half and half, thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Heat to a very low simmer, but do not boil or soup will break.
