Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I've got a giant jar of artichoke hearts in water and no idea what to do with them.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 We have these recipes in the files. It appears the poster made the first recipe soy free if you read the notes under the ingredients. The second does contain sour cream but you could probably use an cashew or sunflower seed sour cream (see Dairy Alternatives). Quick and Easy Artichoke Heart Soup Source: Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook, Jeanne Marie Martin with Zoltan P. Rona, M.D. 1 cup artichoke hearts packed in water, drained and chopped (I used 1 cup of frozen hearts, steamed and didn't chop them) 2 cups milk -OR- 1 3/4 cup milk substitute and 2 oz (57 g) tofu, steamed (I used 2 cups of water and some veggie broth powder) 1 Tbsp (3 tsp) dried parsley 1 Tbsp (3 tsp) finely chopped raw onion (I took some layers off a quarter of an onion, no chopping) 1 to 2 Tbsp (3 to 6 tsp) GF tamari soy sauce (I omitted) 1 small garlic clove, minced (I opted not to chop) 1 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp each sea salt and dried dill weed couple dashes ground nutmeg several dashes each sea kelp and cayenne pepper optional: 1 Tbsp (3 tsp) olive oil optional: 1/2 bunch spinach, steamed until tender (I used frozen spinach, didn't steam it, about 1 cup) 1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth (took a few minutes). Try to use one or both optional ingredients if milk substitute is used (I used both). 2. Heat the soup on medium heat until it comes to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, or until the flavors balance and the sharp edge is off the onion and garlic. 3. Serve hot with a whole grain and/or legume dish with a salad if desired. NOTE: After letting it come to a boil, I added the small amount (~3Tbsp/9tsp) of a dry wild rice/brown rice blend that I had in the cabinet and added a handful of unhulled sesame seeds for some calcium. I let it cook about an hour on low. One of my 3 year old twins just got perturbed with me because he and I ate it all. Kid tested, mother approved! Enjoy, this is a good one. Serves 3 to 4. Chilled Artichoke Soup 1 tablespoon (3 tsp) olive oil 1 onion, finally chopped 1 garlic clove, finely minced two 800 g (28 oz) cans artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped 600 ml (20 fl oz) vegetable broth 150 ml (5 fl oz) vegan sour cream 2 tablespoons (6 tsp) fresh thyme leaves, finely minced 2 sun-dried tomatoes, in thin strips (optional, as garnish) 1. Warm the olive oil in a large saucepan and saute the onion and garlic just until they are softened, but not browned. 2. Add the artichoke hearts and vegetable broth to the mixture. 3. Bring to the boil, then reduce the temperature to a simmer; partially cover the pan and allow to simmer for 3 minutes. 4. Remove from heat, and puree the mixture with a hand blender or food processor until smooth. 5. Return to the saucepan and allow to cool completely. 6. After it is cooled, add the sour cream and the thyme. 7. Place in the refrigerator, covered, for 3 to 4 hours before serving. 8. When serving, garnish each bowl with sun-dried tomato strips, if desired.
