Instructions
Step 1
Start by soaking the dried mushrooms in boiling water for about 20 minutes until they soften. Once they're ready, squeeze out any extra water and chop them up finely, saving the soaking liquid for later.
Step 2
Fire up your grill to medium-high and give the grate a quick oiling. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then grill them for around 6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Set the chicken aside once it’s done.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, and that mushroom soaking liquid you saved. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
Step 4
While that’s going, heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the garlic and onion, cooking until the onion softens and becomes translucent—about 5 minutes. Then add the chopped mushrooms, artichokes, pepper, parsley, lemon juice, and white wine. Bring this mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes before adding it to your pot of broth.
Step 5
Slice up the grilled chicken into strips and stir it into the soup. Just before serving, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for a nice finish.
