    This Crema de Alcachofas (Artichokes Creamy Soup) is another Colombian soup from the Andean region of the country. It's a creamy, rich and very comforting soup.

    Colombian main dishes, especially at lunch time, usually consist of a bowl of soup, meat, poultry or seafood and a side dish like rice, potatoes, yuca, plantains, avocado or a small green salad.

    I grew up eating soup for lunch every day and I always find comfort in a bowl of soup. I rarely tire of it and could eat it every day of the year.

    This artichoke soup is perfect whether you want something to warm up to on a chilly day or a side for your holiday dinner. If you like artichokes, it's almost impossible not to like a rich and creamy soup like this one.

    Serving Suggestions

    I like to serve this soup with a teaspoon of cream and potato sticks. You can also top it with crispy chorizo or bacon. It will take this soup to the next level with the different flavors and wonderful textures. f

    If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender instead. Be VERY careful when blending hot soup, avoid filling the blender all the way and let the steam escape.
