   Add the remaining 2-3 cups of stock or even more if you prefer more broth. Heat gently. It is important not to overcook or boil the soup. The potatoes, tomatoes and artichokes should be heated just enough to blend the flavors or they might disintegrate.

   Sprinkle each serving with fresh parsley and garnish with a wedge of fresh lemon.
