Instructions
Prepare Broth and Veggies
Start by warming the chicken broth and water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Squeeze in the lemon juice and give it a good stir, then let it cook for about 5 minutes. While that’s heating, heat some oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the red bell pepper and cook it until it softens a bit, around 3 to 5 minutes. Once it’s ready, add the pepper to the pot along with the tomatoes, artichokes, potato, carrot, celery, green onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Turn the heat up to high and bring everything to a boil. Let it simmer until the veggies are tender, which should take about 15 minutes. Then, stir in the cream and wine.

Blend and Combine Soup
Carefully ladle about half of the vegetable and broth mixture into a blender. Hold the lid down with a kitchen towel and pulse a few times before blending it all until smooth. Pour this back into a separate pot and repeat with the rest of the soup. Once everything is pureed, pour all of it back into your original pot. Add the cooked chicken and some freshly ground black pepper. Warm it over medium heat until it’s nicely heated through, about 5 minutes, and then you’re ready to serve.
