This rich and savory soup blends tender artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and baby spinach into a velvety base of chicken stock and cream. Aromatic garlic, onion, and celery create depth, while a touch of red pepper flakes adds subtle heat. Finished with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of Asiago, it’s the perfect cozy starter or light meal.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp Cento Imported Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 small Onion, diced
2 Celery Stalks, diced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 jar Cento Quartered Artichoke Hearts (14 oz), drained
1 jar Cento Chefs Cut Sun Dried Tomatoes (10 oz)
4 cups Cento Chicken Stock
1/2 tsp Cento Crushed Red Pepper
Cento Fine Sicilian Sea Salt, to taste
Cento Ground Black Pepper, to taste
3 cups Baby Spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Asiago Cheese, grated

Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to coat. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10–12 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Reduce the heat to low, then slowly stir in heavy cream and lemon juice. Finish by stirring in Asiago cheese until melted and smooth. Serve hot. Serves 4.
