Preparation

Step 1

Puree 3 Tbsp olive oil, cheese, basil, and 1/4 tsp chopped garlic in mini processor until smooth. Season pesto with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 6 min. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add artichoke and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until artichokes are soft (about 7 min). Working in batches, puree soup in blender until almost smooth. Strain into same saucepan, pressing solids to release liquid. Thin with additional broth by 1/4 cupfuls if desired. Season soup with salt and pepper. Season individual bowls with pesto.
