- Add the cream cheese and lower the heat to medium, stirring until the cheese has melted down.
- Squeeze the excess moisture from the spinach and add to the pot. Add the chicken stock one cup at a time, stirring each addition until well combined. Lastly, add the chopped artichoke hearts and stir thoroughly.
- Return to high heat until just boiling then reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and season accordingly.
- Garnish with parmesan flakes, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Tips
If you forget to remove the spinach from the freezer beforehand you can run warm water through the strainer to speed up the thawing process.
For more protein, feel free to add left over chicken breast.
If you do not reach the desired consistency (after step 5), leave on the heat and allow the soup to reduce and thicken for a little longer. Alternatively, Arrowroot can be used to thicken the soup (mix 1-2 teaspoons with a small amount with cold water before adding it at step 5).
