For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. A splash of sherry can add depth to the soup. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a vibrant touch.
Indulge in the creamy embrace of this comforting soup, where tender chicken meets the subtle tang of artichoke hearts in a symphony of flavor. A delightful twist on classic comfort food, perfect for a cozy evening.
In a stockpot, combine chicken broth and water over medium-high heat. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and stir. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors. (Time: 5 minutes)
Heat vegetable oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and grill until it softens slightly. (Time: 3-5 minutes). Transfer the grilled red bell pepper to the stockpot. Add diced tomatoes, chopped artichoke hearts, diced potato, diced carrot, diced celery, chopped green onions, chopped mushrooms, and minced garlic. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook until the vegetables are tender. (Time: 15 minutes)
Using a blender, carefully puree the vegetable-broth mixture in batches. Fill the blender halfway, cover securely, and pulse a few times before blending until smooth. Pour the pureed mixture into a separate pot. Repeat with the remaining vegetable-broth mixture.
Pour all the pureed mixture back into the original stockpot. Add the bite-size pieces of cooked chicken and a pinch of ground black pepper. Heat over medium heat, bringing to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is heated through. (Time: 5 minutes)
