"These flavors are in DH's favortie dip...what a fantastic quick soup it makes! The directions say to add water at the end to thin it a bit, but we left it thick. Serve with Crusty bread!!"

Made this tonight and it is very good. Easy recipe with lots of flavor. I did use canned artichoke hearts as I couldn't find frozen and used about 1 1/2lbs yukon gold potatoes. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for sharing!!

I love artichokes and soup so I was looking for a soup recipe that included them. This one is a winner. I didn't have any thyme in the house so I used some poultry seasoning that had thyme in it. My BF doesn't like spinach so I put some aside before adding the spinach and topped with crumbled bacon. Yummo as Rachael would say. I always know her recipes will be easy to prepare, tasty, and not include too many ingredients to over-complicate things.

I was going to post this one, but it looks like you beat me to it. I love this soup and it makes alot - the leftovers are great, too. I used canned artichokes (could not find frozen) and shredded parmesan cheese. It's also good with extra cheese on top after it's cooked.
