Ingredients

    3 large carrots -- peeled cut in 3/4" pieces
    1 medium onion -- cut in 3/4" pieces
    6 cloves garlic -- minced
    8 cups chicken broth
    2 medium russet potato -- peeled cut in 1" pieces
    2 teaspoons thyme -- minced
    1 sprig rosemary
    1 each bay leaf
    1/2 cup bread crumbs
    16 ounces mushrooms, whole -- sliced
    10 ounces artichoke hearts -- chopped
    2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add carrot and onions and cook until lightly browned and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth, potatoes, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove and discard rosemary and bay leaf. While vegetables simmer, saute mushrooms until browned. Transfer 3 cups solids, 1 cup broth, and bread crumbs to blender and puree until smooth. Stir puree back into pot, add mushrooms and artichokes cook over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve, passing extra vinegar at table.
