Instructions

  1. Warm the Oil in a large stockpot over medium heat until shimmering. Toss in the diced yellow onion and let it sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  5. Once the potatoes are soft, add the drained artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers. Stir to incorporate.
  6. Mix the milk and arrowroot powder in a small bowl until smooth, then slowly pour this into the pot while stirring continuously.
  7. Add in the fresh lemon juice and zest, stirring thoroughly.
  8. Toss in the freshly chopped kale or spinach, stirring until wilted, about a minute. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken bone broth. Garnish with fresh herbs or serve with crusty bread.
