Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 2 leeks, white parts only, sliced; 1 garlic clove, chopped; 1 small russet potato, peeled and chopped; 1 (8 ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed; 2 cups low sodium chicken broth (or veggie stock, to make it vegetarian); 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste); 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese; 2 teaspoons chives (optional)

Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 leeks, white parts only, sliced
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 small russet potato, peeled and chopped
1 (8 ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
2 cups low sodium chicken broth (or veggie stock, to make it vegetarian)
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
2 teaspoons chives (optional)

1
Heat oil in large pot over medium heat.
2
Add leeks and garlic, cook and stir for about 2 minutes.
3
Add the potato and cook about 5 minutes.
4
Add the artichokes and broth, cover and cook 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
5
Add salt, pepper and cream cheese.
6
At this point you can pull out your immersion blender if you're lucky enough to have one. Puree until smooth.
7
If you're like me, take the soup off the heat for a few minutes and transfer to a blender to puree (probably in batches) until smooth.
8
You may want to strain the soup to remove the little stringy bits of artichokes -- especially if you have kids.
9
Top with chives, maybe a dollop of sour cream, or even some mascarpone if you are living dangerously.
10
Enjoy!
