Table of Contents

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1¼ cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium onion)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (from 4 cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen spinach, thawed in a colander (no need to squeeze)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (12-ounce) jars marinated quartered artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped (about 2½ cups)
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • Freshly ground black pepper, for serving

Instructions

  1. Blend Cream Base:
     In a medium bowl, use a spoon or spatula to mix the cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics:
     Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened (about 4 minutes). Stir in garlic and salt, cooking for 1 more minute until fragrant and lightly golden.
  3. Add Spinach, Artichokes, and Broth:
     Add spinach and stir to break up clumps. Cook until warmed through (about 3 minutes). Stir in chicken broth and chopped artichokes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2–3 minutes, until everything is heated and slightly reduced. Remove from heat.
  4. Finish the Soup:
     In batches, stir the cream cheese mixture into the soup off-heat until fully blended. Add the Parmesan and mix well.
  5. Serve:
     Ladle soup into bowls and top with extra Parmesan and a few cracks of black pepper. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
