Recipe:- Wash the tomato well.- Peel the onion and garlic cloves.- Wash the potato, peel it and cut it into pieces.- Wash the leek well and remove the green part.- Wash the artichokes, remove the part of the stem and the first leaves of the outer part, which are harder, until you reach the heart.- Also cut the tip of the artichokes.- Cook all the vegetables in boiling water with a pinch of salt for 20 minutes.- Drain the vegetables and reserve the cooking water.- Place the vegetables in a glass suitable for the blender and beat everything well until you have a homogeneous cream.- Add cooking water to make it lighter and mix well.- Strain the cream to remove the strands of the artichokes.
*Tip: if you want you can cut a couple of thin slices of artichokes, fry them in olive oil and place them on the cream, or place a couple of slices of goat cheese on it, so they will melt with the heat of the cream. It's great both ways!
Bon appétit!
