Instructions: Saute shallot in oil over medium-low heat until ver soft. Stir in stock, chopped artichoke hearts and hazelnuts. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15-20 minutes. Combine a little of the hot broth with the rice flour to dissolve it. Stir into the soup, then strain soup through a medium mesh strainer or run through a food mill.

Return soup to pot. Stir in cream and cook until thickened. Just before serving, stir in sherry and chopped parsley.
