Great recipe. Very clean tasting. The CSA gave me 4 artichokes and I couldn't imagine dipping all of them into a butter sauce. This recipe was a great solution. I made it vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth. I also used light coconut milk instead of the heavy cream.

Delish! I omitted the cheese and used about 1/2 of the cream, to make it more healthy and it still was amazing. I also used frozen artichokes and they worked fine. I will totally make this again and so will many people who I shared the soup and recipe with.

I really enjoyed this soup and I'll definitely make it again. It was even better warmed up the next day! Thanks.

This was a very nice soup... but of course I made my own little changes..partially because I wanted the changes...and partially because I made a mistake! I added a lot more cheese than it asks for and I put in a variety of cheeses. I accidentally put the cream in at the beginning, however I just kept the heat below a boil and there was never a problem. Also one change I did was that I used a jar of artichoke hearts. It cut down on prep time by a lot. The jar had some special flavoring so I didn't use any salt or pepper. Delicious recipe! ^_^ I will make it for the second time right after I finish this review!

This is delicious and it's fairly easy. Fresh artichokes always are a bit of extra work as far as I'm concerned, but the flavor extraction makes them worth it. I steamed 4 artichokes, discarded the leaves, cut up and added the bottoms and the steaming water, then I added a can of artichoke bottoms to make up for the missing pulp from the leaves. Nothing was lost I'm sure. Instead of celery I used 1/2 a celeraic bulb I happened to have on hand. This result was a flavorful, creamy soup just right for a chilly fall evening meal, along with some cheese tortellini and steamed broccoli in a butter-EVOO garlic sauce.

sooooo good. I didn't have vermouth so I used a dry white wine. I also used two cans of artichokes. I used canned veggie broth and made the soup pretty salty without addding any salt.Thanks for an AMAZING recipe. It is definitely a keeper.

This recipe was great. I used frozen artichoke hearts and just chopped them up. To save time, I sauted the veggies in some olive oil to get them going. My husband even gobbled this up and if I had told him it was artichoke soup, he wouldn't have even touched it. My teenagers and even my 3 & 5 year old ate this soup up! Need to make a double batch next time!
