Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus extra, as needed
- One 12-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
- 1 packed cup fresh spinach (about 1 ounce)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- Lemon wedges
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Cook the vegetables until just tender, about 4 minutes. Add 2 cups broth and the artichoke hearts and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the artichoke hearts are tender, about 12 minutes.
Puree the soup, 1 cup at a time, in a blender until very smooth, adding the spinach and chopped mint with the last cup. Return the puree to the same saucepan. Mix in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Warm over low heat, thinning with the additional broth by 1/4 cupfuls if the soup is too thick. Ladle the soup into bowls. Squeeze a lemon wedge over each bowl of soup before serving.

We absolutely loved this soup! I did add one clove of garlic with the onions and celery. My husband did not like the lemon - said it overpowered the soup. I thought the lemon was a great addition. Try the soup before adding the lemon so you don't share my husband's sentiments. This really is health in a bowl! AWESOME!

We really enjoyed this soup! I didn't have a lemon on hand so we used some lemon balm that we have growing in our yard~ along with the fresh mint that we have growing also : We added some grated parm cheese on top when serving and it was soooooooo good! Will def make this again..maybe tomorrow...with a lemon. (jealous of the person who posted that they have a Meyer tree in their yard

Happy Earth Day! In honor of it I made this green soup It was delicious! I added 2 cloves of garlic as was suggested by another reviewer. Did not buy the frozen artichokes- too much $$$. Instead I bought a 14 oz can of em and just drained em- didn't need to chop em up. Healthy and good soup- would make it again.
