-

-
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
-
2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
-
2 garlic cloves chopped, divided

Recipe Method
1.
Puree 3 tablespoons oil,
cheese,
basil, and 1/4 teaspoon chopped
garlic in mini processor until smooth.
2. Season pesto with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 6 minutes. Add all remaining garlic; stir 30 seconds. Add artichokes and 2 1/2 cups broth. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until artichokes are soft, about 7 minutes.
3. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until almost smooth. Strain into same saucepan, pressing on solids to release liquid. Thin with additional broth by 1/4 cupfuls if desired.
4. Season soup with salt and pepper. Divided among bowls; drizzle with pesto.
