Cube artichokes + potatoes+ asparagus and steam all ( use a steamer or two racked pan )
Set aside , in a pot add 3 spoons of butter and 1 tsp of canola oil ( we dont want butterto burn easily thats why we add oil ) when it melts add sliced red peppers and roast a little then add chicken cubes ( breast boneless and skinless or leftovers )
When its cooked add salt peppr and cardamom and sage ,add 1 tsp of garlic and bring this to cook well, add chicken stock and 2 cups of milk ( to each 1 leter of broth add 2 cups of milk ) when it boils add the vegetables .bring all to cook .
In a container add 2 tsp of flour and 1-2 cup of milk or stock ,and stir well when it combines add slowly to the soup while you heat it , as we dont want lumps to collect .and be slow as u stir we dont want the artichokes to get tender more than desired .
Serve hot and sprinkle herbs of yr choice, lemon croutons , butter and brown bread ...its a meal of its own , u can add corn or mushrooms too if desired !
