Artichoke Chowder Recipes

Steps:

• Drain and quarter artichokes. Drain mushrooms.
• In 3-quart saucepan, mix all ingredients except salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil and saute' the onions. Add the mushrooms, chopped artichokes, and broth. Cook about 6 - 8 minutes, until tender. Add the peas.
• Blend the flour with the evap'd milk, and add to the sautee'd vegetable mixture in the saucepan. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes, until slightly thickened.
• Season to-taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Rinse artichokes under cold water, and use a sharp knife to cut the top 1/3 off of each one. Trim the stems to about 1 inch, and remove the smaller leaves from around the base. Use scissors to remove any remaining leaf tips. Cut each artichoke in half from the bottom to the top, then use a spoon to scrape out the hairy choke. Rinse again to remove any residual hairs.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and saute for about 1 minute to flavor the butter. Arrange artichoke halves cut-side down in the skillet. Saute for about 5 or 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to low, and pour in about 1/4 cup of water, cover, and let steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. A fork should easily pierce the stem.

Steps:

• Melt the butter and olive together in a large, heavy pot.
• Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until onion is transparent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice and simmer until the liquid has been evaporated.
• Add the clam juice or broth, heavy cream, diced artichokes, and the scallops, and simmer for 4 minutes (do not let boil!).
