This is yummy.
I was at the grocery store a lil while ago and they had a salad bar in their little deli area so I bought a little less than a pound of artichoke heats to make some soup with (after seeing it somewhere on tv)
I picked up some leek, and a couple yukon gold potatoes (very small ones)
rinsed and cut up some of the leek, a few cloves or garlic and tossed it into a pan with a few tbsp of butter to saute

after the leek was softened and the garlic was aromatic I dumped a bunch of chicken stock in and the diced potatoes

just enough to cover it
brought that to a boil and then let it simmer for an hour so, then after a spin in the food processor we had a nice creamy soup
finish it with a little butter and heavy cream and salt to taste.
yum

I used
.85 lbs of fresh artichoke hearts
2 small yukon gold potato, diced
sliced leek maybe a 1/4 cup
3 good sized cloves of garlic, minced
enough chicken stock to cover everything in the pan
pinch of dried thyme
pinch of dried parsley
~3 tbsp butter
so in a heavy bottomed pan tossed in the butter, saute the leek and garlic until softened add the chicken stock and potato added the seasoning
bring it to by a boil and then reduce heat and let simmer for an hour
puree in a food processor until smooth
finish with a couple tbsp of heavy cream and butter, serve

I would suggest you serve it with some hard toasted bread (garlic rubbed crostini) and sprinkle some sun dried tomatoes and fresh herbs on the top of the soup bowl.
