Preparation

1. Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Reserve 1 large or 2 small artichoke hearts and place the rest in the saucepan. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Place the mixture in a blender. Holding the top down securely with a towel, puree the soup until smooth. Place in a saucepan, season with the salt and pepper and keep warm over low heat. In a medium size skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and saute until cooked. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Thinly slice the reserved artichoke hearts. Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Divide the sliced artichokes among the bowls, placing them in the center. Place the shrimp over the artichoke slices so they stand out of the soup slightly. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
