This soup features savory vegetables in a light broth seasoned with A.Vogel Herbed Sea Salt. Garnished with lemon juice, fresh parsley, green onion, and a splash of extra virgin olive oil it’s the perfect tonic for the winter blues.
1 lemon cut into wedges
2 green onions, sliced
Handful Italian parsley, roughly chopped
Grated Romano cheese
1. Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottom pot set over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until sizzling and fragrant for about one minute
2. Add the onion, celery, and carrot stirring to loosen any garlic stuck to the bottom of the pan.
3.Sprinkle one teaspoon of the herbed sea salt blend and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper over the vegetables. Cover the pan and sweat the vegetables until they smell fragrant and the onion is translucent.
4. When the carrots are tender enough to pierce with a fork add the zucchini and the last 1/2 teaspoon herbed sea salt and simmer for another five minutes.
5.Add the artichokes, spinach, and mushrooms, cover and simmer until the spinach is wilted, and the artichokes and mushrooms are heated through.
6.Taste and add more herbed sea salt if you like. Remove bay leaf and thyme stems.
7.Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with parsley, green onion, extra virgin olive oil, and grated romano.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
*Whole artichokes in the can are typically better quality than quartered artichokes so it's worth buying them whole and cutting them yourself.
