Two Step Vegan-Friendly Soup

A cousin of the artichoke, cardone is a fibre-rich vegetable that has traditionally been used in Italian and French cooking, but is becoming more widely available for home cooks. This soup also offers an excellent source of vitamin C thanks to the garlic, making it the perfect meal to warm up after a winter run.
