Artichoke and Blue Cheese Bisque Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons vermouth
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and liquid reserved
  • 1 cup chicken broth, or as needed
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese salad dressing
  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion and thyme in the melted butter until onion is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add vermouth; cook and and stir until liquid is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Pour liquid from artichoke hearts into a measuring cup; add enough chicken broth to equal 1 1/2 cup.
  3. Transfer onion mixture to a blender and top with drained artichoke hearts; blend, adding chicken broth mixture as needed, until mixture is smooth. Pour artichoke mixture back into the pan and mix in remaining chicken broth mixture and blue cheese dressing. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until bisque is heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
