Directions

• Prep all ingredients.
• Combine artichoke, chicken stock, 1 cup green onions, garlic, sea salt, Joes Stuff seasoning and thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for about 12 minutes.
• Make roux: Place butter in a medium sauce pan on medium heat. When melted whisk in flour till smooth add to simmering pot. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add shrimp and simmer for 5 more minutes. Serve with freshly chopped green onions and parsley for garnish.
• Note: There are 2 cups green onions total - 1 cup to put with other ingredients and one cup for garnish.
• Prep all ingredients.
• Put broth in large pot on high heat.
• Add 1 cup onions (reserving the rest for garnish), parsley, thyme, Joes stuff seasoning and garlic.
• Bring to a boil. Lower heat a little and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add coconut cream and whisk till smooth. Bring back to a simmer.
• Add shrimp (or chicken) and artichoke hearts, simmer for 5 more minutes.
• While soup simmers make slurry.
• Combine water and arrowroot powder and whisk until smooth.
• Turn soup off heat. Add half the slurry and stir until soup thickens. If soup needs more thickening add more slurry, but keep in mind arrowroot thickens more when cool) If soup thickens up too much just add more broth to thin.
• Taste and add sea salt or Joes seasoning if needed. Be mindful, its spicy!
• Serve soup garnished with remaining green onions.
