Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large stock pot over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Add the diced onion, sliced celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  2. Add Heartier Ingredients: Stir in the diced potatoes, drained artichoke hearts, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and capers. Add the chicken bone broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  3. Create the Creamy Base: Whisk together arrowroot powder with milk until smooth. Pour this into the pot, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes until the soup thickens.
  4. Finish with Greens and Citrus: Fold in the freshly chopped kale or spinach, squeeze in the lemon juice, and add the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls while it’s hot. Optionally sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, lemon wedges, and red pepper flakes.
