Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup onion chopped
1 1/2 cups leeks cleaned, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1 quart chicken broth
13 3/4 ounces artichoke hearts well rinsed, drained, quartered
2 1/2 cups potatoes peeled, cubed
2 small thyme sprigs
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 teaspoon red hot pepper sauce (eg. Tabasco)
1 x salt to taste
1 x black pepper ground, to taste
1 x parsley leaves fresh, chopped, to taste

Directions

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onion and leeks, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until tender.

Uncover and cook until the leeks are very soft, about 5 minutes, adding the garlic for the last minute.

Add the broth, artichokes, potatoes and thyme; simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Add the milk and Tabasco sauce; simmer for 5 minutes longer.

Remove from heat and discard the thyme.

In a food processor or blender, puree the soup until very smooth.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve hot or cold, garnished with parsley.
