I created this soup because I love the spinach artichoke dip that people tend to make for parties. It is really rich so it should probably be served as a starter for meals.
Serves 4
Ingredients
16 ounces of Vegetable Broth
14oz cans of artichoke bottoms; chopped
16oz package of pre washed spinach
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon of Butter
1 small onion; chopped
3 cloves of garlic; minced
1/2 cup of Half and Half
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
3 ounces of Welsh Cheddar Cheese (or Dubliners)
Directions
*Saute Onion and Garlic in oil and butter for 3 minutes.
Add Spinach and continue to sauté until spinach is wilted (about 5 minutes)
Add Veggie Broth and cook until just boiling
Remove from heat and blend with submersion blender (a tool I can't live without)
Add cheese, half and half and blend until mixed and smooth
Return to heat just until heated through
garnish with a little parmesan cheese or bread crumbs if not worried about carb count
Enjoy
