INSTRUCTIONS

GARNISHES
TRIM THE ARTICHOKES. Break off the tough outer leaves and slice off the top
2/3 of the remaining inner leaves. Trim the outsides, cut the artichokes in
quarters and remove the chokes. Dice the trimmed hearts into small pieces.
Put them in the acidulated water as you work. Keep the garlic cloves whole.
Warm the olive oil and add the leeks, drained artichokes, garlic, potato,
lettuce or sorrel, parsley and mint. Season with the salt, add 1/2 cup
water and stew gently until the vegetables are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add
the peas and the rest of the water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat
and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes or until the artichokes are
cooked. Taste for salt. Puree the soup or leave it as is and serve with the
freshly ground pepper, add a few good pinches of chervil or parsley, a
spoonful of olive oil drizzled into each soup plate and a dusting of
cheese.

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
