Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced celery and onion, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Incorporate the minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes into the pot. Sauté for an additional minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  3. Stir in the chopped canned artichoke hearts and marinated sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well to combine.
  4. Pour in the chicken stock, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the fresh spinach, stirring until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until you reach your desired texture—smooth and creamy or slightly chunky.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and ½ cup of heavy cream. Adjust seasoning and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
