While you are cleaning and cutting all the artichokes you can sqeeze a lemon over them so they won't turn black. Chop the italian parsley.

Dice the onion and sweat it in a pan with 2 tblspoons of olive oil at medium heat. Add the artichokes and the parsley and stir.

Turn the heat high and add half a glass of white wine. Let it evaporate. Add the broth.

Cover the pan, turn the heat medium low and cook for 20 min or until the artichokes are soft. Then take half of the artichokes and place them on a cutting board.

Dice them with a knife and reput them in the pan. Add whipping cream and stir.

If you want a more creamy sauce you can use a food processor to mash half of the artichokes with a little bit of whipping cream, instead of cutting them on the board. Then put everything in the pot.
