Health Benefits

Artichoke hearts are rich in iron and vitamins A, C, and K. They also contain potassium and dietary fiber. Artichoke hearts are low in calories, fat, and cholesterol.

They also contain some plant-based protein as well as a good deal of antioxidants, vitamin C and folic acid.

All artichokes contain antioxidants; the antioxidants in artichoke may help to protect from cancer, heart disease, stroke, and inflammatory diseases.

Artichoke hearts and artichoke leaf extracts have been shown in studies to lower cholesterol and improve lipid (cholesterol) profiles, reducing the risk of heart disease.  Artichokes may also support healthy liver function.

Is it good for the Mediterranean?

This soup’s main components that make it a Mediterranean favorite are artichokes and olives. Lentils are also a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisines.

In the first millennium AD, lentils were introduced to Greece and are referenced in the book of Exodus.

In the 13th century AD, French Jewish immigrants from Spain brought lentils to Italy. In this region, they are referred to as “soup escarole.”

I suppose that Acme Oyster House Stuffed Artichoke Soup is in a class all its own and would make an excellent main dish for a very special meal.

Is it good for diet?

I suppose this would not be a good choice for a diet, as it has a lot of butter and cream. However, I think you could substitute olive oil for butter, and soy or other cream substitutes, like rice milk or almond milk.

The artichoke provides protein and fiber. It also contains phytonutrients that help stabilize blood sugar levels, which can be helpful to those with type 2 diabetes.

Tips:

  1. We all know that artichokes are best eaten with the leaves attached when possible. However, they are not that tough to pull off. If you have trouble getting the leaves to come off, try dunking them in a pot of simmering water for about 20 seconds before peeling them.
  2. To get the best results from your immersion blender, it’s not good to pulse it more than 3-4 times when blending various foods, like soup and pasta sauces. Pulse for about 30-second intervals until smooth.
  3. You can make this recipe in a crockpot by following the same directions, except reduce the onions and garlic to 1/2 cup. You can also shred the artichoke hearts while they are still in the crockpot.
  4. In case you’re wondering what Acme Oyster House is, check them out on Wikipedia.
  5. Use an immersion blender to make this soup.
