ARTICHOKE SOUP WITH PARMESAN STICKS

Steps:

• Up to a month before, put all the soup ingredients in a pan and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer, covered, for about 20-30 mins or until the artichokes and potatoes have become very tender. Liquidise the soup in batches until completely smooth. If you want to thin it, add more stock. Pour the soup into a rigid plastic container and leave to cool before covering and freezing.
• The day before serving, transfer the soup to the fridge to defrost overnight.
• On the day, heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Heat the soup and check the seasoning. While the soup is warming, put the grissini sticks on a baking tray. Scatter them with 1 tbsp of the Parmesan and put in the oven until warm and the cheese has melted, about 8-10 mins.
• Meanwhile, pour the cream into a small pan and simmer to reduce by a third. Stir in remaining Parmesan and let it melt. (For a little extra body, add a tbsp or two of soup.) Stir in 1-2 tbsp milk to cool it down, then blitz with a stick blender, if you like, for a frothy finish. (To avoid any splashes, transfer the cream to a larger pan or deep bowl to do this.) Ladle the soup between soup bowls, topping each with the warmed cream and a sprinkling of chives if using. Serve with the warm grissini sticks.

ARTICHOKE PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Chop the carrot, celery and onion into almost a purée in a food processor. Set aside.
• Drain the artichoke hearts and reserve the liquid. Place the artichoke hearts in the food processor and purée, using some of the liquid if necessary to facilitate puréeing. Set aside.
• Heat up the olive oil in a large saucepan, then add the puréed carrot, celery and onion and cook on high heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly because they can burn easily. Add the puréed artichoke hearts and their liquid and 4 cups water. Bring the soup to a boil on high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan!
• Mix the cornstarch with 1 cup warm water in a small bowl, using your hands to make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved, then add the mixture to the soup and bring it back to boil. If the soup is too thick for your taste, add a bit more water; if it is too thin, add a bit more cornstarch mixed with water. Don't overdo it, because a bit of cornstarch goes a long way.
• Add the cream to the soup and stir, then remove the pot from the stove. Add the grated cheese to the soup a bit at the time, using a whisk to work it into the soup so that it doesn't form large clumps. Add 1 tablespoon salt, then taste the soup and, if you think it is necessary, add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.

CREAMY ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and the garlic and stir. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the artichokes, stock, salt, and pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Using a handheld immersion blender, or in a blender in batches*, puree the soup. Add the 2 tablespoons mascarpone and blend again to combine. In a small bowl, stir the remaining 1/3 cup mascarpone to soften.
• Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Dollop the top of each of the soups with a spoonful of the softened mascarpone cheese and top the cheese with chives.
• * When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

ARTICHOKE-PARMESAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Drain and rinse artichoke hearts, squeezing them to remove excess water. Place in bowl of food processor, together with cayenne, creme fraiche and chopped dill. Process until artichokes are finely pureed. Set aside.
• Bring water to boil in lower half of a double boiler. Turn heat down to just barely simmering. Have a bowl of cold water with a few ice cubes in it standing by. In top half of boiler, place egg yolks and lemon juice. Whisk slightly to combine, then place over, but not in, the barely simmering water. Stir constantly with a wire whisk. Place a piece of butter in the eggs and continue stirring until eggs are warm and butter has melted. Then add another piece of butter and continue in the same manner until all the butter is used. If eggs start to curdle, immediately plunge the top boiler in bowl of icy water, still whisking. (This is an emergency procedure to lower the temperature rapidly.) Return the top boiler to the simmering water and continue adding butter.
• When all the butter has been added, sauce should be quite thick. Add grated cheese and whisk to mix well. Place boiler in icy water to reduce temperature slightly, then stir in artichoke mixture. Use this sauce to nap the mushroom roulade. May be served immediately or held for an hour or so, but do not refrigerate as it will make the sauce granular.
• Serve garnished with herbs, chives and edible flowers, passing remaining sauce.
