Now, I know I am going to offend some readers but I am not that big a fan of Ms. Dean. I am sure she has a lovely heart but she kinda annoys me. Just sayin' . . .I decided to make this recipe for Cream of Artichoke Soup.
Oh lordy, look at that butter.
Adjustments to recipe:1 - I did not add salt and yet, this soup was a bit salty. Next time, I will use low-sodium chicken broth.
2 - The recipe does not call for an immersion blender but I did use it to break up some of the artichoke.
This soup was so easy to make and quite delicious that I will make it again.
Thanks Ms. Deen.

Believe it or not, I've never had an artichoke... not even that famous dip! The soup sounds good and easy:@)
ooooohhhh....that sounds good AND easy. You know, I feel the same way about Rachel Ray- She just kind of annoys me for some reason!;>) xo Diana
I agree with you...Paula Deen sorta annoys me as well. Really, I'm afraid to use her recipes as I have high cholesterol and when I see all the butter, eggs, and sugar in her recipes I think I don't want to end up a diabetic too!
The recipe does look good though.
I love the flavor of artichokes, so I'm sure I'd love this soup!
Looks and sounds great! Thanks for linking up st So Very Creative. I featured this in a round-up today!

Single Nester - I have followed your blog for a month or so and love checking in with you. Thank you for posting this recipe. I am a huge soup fan, year-round. I am def gonna give this a try. Also, I really appreciate you showing the ingredients. It helps me a lot and makes the recipe seem more simple to make.
Peace to you! Pam K. from Dallas, TX
Did you hear that Paula was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes? I think she had to go on a diet herself...I wonder if she cut down on butter intake. Thanks for testing this recipe for us. I have a friend that lives in Savannah and she thinks that Paula gets other folks to actually write her recipe books.
Artichokes are my FAVE! I must try this.
YUM! That looks soooo good! I will definitely need to add that cookbook to my wishlist! I love me some Paula Deen! Thanks for linking to Sew Crafty Saturday!

My mom must have been ahead of the times. She used to use rub n buff to touch up her gold leaf mirrors. Yours came out great!
