Ingredients:

• 2 or 3 artichoke hearts, cleaned and sliced
• 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
• 1 garlic clove, smashed
• 1 small carrot, cubed
• 2 small red potatoes, cubed
• 3 cups vegetable broth
• 1/4 teaspoon no-salt seasoning
• 1 handful frozen peas (optional)
• pinch of salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon oil

Directions:

1. Clean and prep all the veggies. Lightly brown them with a little grapeseed or olive oil. Don’t forget to add your seasonings at this point.
2. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a quick boil.
3. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. The potatoes will basically melt and thicken up your soup.
4. Add a handful of frozen peas at the end and enjoy!  It’s perfect and comforting on a rainy day.
