Recently we dropped in one of our favorite places, Duarte’s Tavern in Pescadero, CA. Their incredible Cream of Artichoke Soup is worth the drive – among the other freshly grown offerings on the menu.

Snag the recipe for their artichoke wonder here. Plus, their Cream of Green Chile Soup is also pretty dang good, tho a bit quicker to make.

And, of course, ocean views on the drive to and fro are part of the package.
