Globe Artichoke Soup

Use the left over bits from peeling the artichokes

  • Artichoke peelings and stems
  • Water
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Optionally, serrano ham in small strips or bread croutons.

Boil the leftovers from peeling the artichokes long enough so that they are tender. Blend with a blender and remove any fibres with a strainer. Add salt to taste. (Fry the serrano ham in a bit of olive oil so that it becomes crispy.)

Serve the soup in a bowl with a swirl of olive oil and the Serrano ham or croutons on top.
