Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Rinse the sliced leeks well to remove any grit, then drain.

  2. 2

    Warm a large pot over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of oil, or use a splash of the vegetable broth to prevent sticking, and cook the leeks until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and cook 1 minute to warm through.

  4. 4

    Pour in the remaining vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Season with dried thyme and black pepper, stir, and simmer until flavors meld, about 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat. Serve as is, or blend carefully for a blended soup.
