"After dining at a certain restaurant that is known for making cheesecake, I fell in love with their chicken and artichoke soup. I've looked through various websites in search of a similar recipe. I couldn't find a recipe for it, but did find one that has some of the same type of ingredients so I tweaked it by adding some vegetables and putting a twist on it. Here is what I came up with. This is a pretty easy recipe and tastes very good. Top with shredded cheese."

Directions

Heat chicken broth and water in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Squeeze lemon juice in and stir. Cook for 5 minutes.
Heat oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add red bell pepper; grill until somewhat soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer red bell pepper to the stockpot; add tomatoes, artichokes, potato, carrot, celery, green onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Increase heat to high. Bring to a boil; cook until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in cream and wine.
Fill blender halfway with the vegetable-broth mixture. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to puree. Pour into a separate pot. Repeat with remaining vegetable-broth mixture.
Pour all the pureed mixture back into the original stockpot; add chicken and black pepper. Heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
