Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 cup diced White or Yellow Onions
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced Garlic
  • 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 crumbled Bouillon Cubes

  • When the mixture begins to simmer, stir in the cream. Return to simmer.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Quickly add in Parmesan, bouillon cubes, lemon juice and sugar. Stir until melted and thoroughly blended.
  • Add sour cream, spinach, artichoke bottoms, Monterey Jack and Tabasco sauce. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the cheese is melted.

  • Serve immediately, with tortilla chips, pita chips, toasted baguette slices and/or other dippers.
