Heat the oil in a large pot set over medium heat and add the onions. Fry the onions for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring regularly, until translucent.
3/4 cup olive oil, 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
Add the carrots, artichokes, tomato sauce and boiled water to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Next add in your potatoes, stir to combine, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
750 grams frozen artichoke buttoms, 4 carrots, chopped in 1 inch chunks, ¼ cup tomato sauce, ½ cup water, boiling, 4 medium yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
Add in your peas, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Your ingredients should be covered with liquid. If they are not, add in some additional boiled water. When you have reached the boiling point, reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for 40 minutes. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add in your fresh dill.
500 grams frozen peas, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, ¼ cup freshly chopped dill
Turn off the heat and transfer some liquid (about a ladle full) into a small bowl. Let the liquid cool slightly and then add in the juice of 1 ½ lemons and the flour. Stir, and add that liquid back into the pot. Shake the pot gently to combine.
1 ½ lemons, squeezed, 1 tbsp flour
Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
