CREAM OF ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid bring about 1 inch water, lemon juice , and teaspoon salt to a boil.
• Meanwhile, cut the stems and thorns from the artichokes. Place the trimmed artichokes, stem-side down and standing, in the pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until a leaf pulls out easily from each artichoke, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Pull off and discard very dark green, outer leaves from the artichokes. Pull off remaining leaves and set aside. Cut off any fibrous dark green parts around outside of the heart. Use a spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke. Roughly chop the heart and put it in a blender or food processor. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
• Use a spoon to scrape off tender flesh from each leaf. Discard the scarped leaf and put the artichoke flesh in the blender with the hearts. Repeat with the remaining leaves.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the garlic to the blender with the artichokes. Set the pan aside.
• Whirl the artichokes with the broth until very smooth. You will need to let the blender run a bit for this to happen; whirl for at least 2 minutes. This will seem like a long time. Stick with it. You're looking for a smoother-than-smooth texture.
• Transfer the artichoke mixture to a large saucepan. Bring the puree to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Add the cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook just to heat the added cream.
• Serve and enjoy!

• Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Dollop the top of each of the soups with a spoonful of the softened mascarpone cheese and top the cheese with chives.
• * When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
