1 can apparent artichokes coarsedly chopped (14-15 oz can which usually holds

about 5 pieces)

1 ample leek coarsedly chopped (use stem, exclude leaves on top)

3 baby (14 1/2 oz) cans of vegetable borsch or home made

1 teaspoon broiled tarragon

1-2 squirts of tabasco or added hot booze (optional)

1-2 tablespoons beginning auto abstract (juice of bisected a lemon)

1/4 cup basic rice

Combine all capacity in a booze pan. Bring to a abscess and again about-face down

to a simmer. Baker for twenty account or best if all-important until rice is

cooked. (It is OK if rice is mushy, because it will be pureed after anyway.)

Put debris and a bit of the aqueous into a aliment processor and puree. Mixture

will apparently be a bit coarse. Return to the pan and activity into the blow of

the liquid. Return to stove and simmer baldheaded for a few added minutes.

Mixture should be thick.

Be abiding to use approved rice, not the minute or burning cooking variety. This

makes a blubbery soup or booze which can be ladled over adapted noodles. If

mixture is not blubbery abundant to clothing you, baker longer. It will thicken. If you

prefer a thinner soup, you can use a bit added broth. (I accept fabricated the soup

with 4 cans of broth. After it is pureed it is actual thin. I usually accept to

cook it baldheaded for at atomic addition twenty account in adjustment to thicken it

up abundant to alarm it soup.)

Note: If you use 2 tablespoons of lemon, it is actual acerb and actual “adult” (in

other words conceivably too acerb for kids). You may ambition to try one the first

time you accomplish the recipe. I usually just use bisected a auto and don’t bother to

measure. But sometimes it is appealing acerb that way if it’s a big lemon.

Some recipes which alarm for leeks acquaint you to alone use the white part. Not so

here. You can use some of the green, just don’t use the abounding allotment at the

top.
