Cut the artichokes into small-ish equal pieces so they cook evenly. 2. Place in a pan with the diced celery, onion, ham, mace, sugar and stock. 3. Heat on a rolling boil for 45 minute to 1 hour until the vegetables are soft. 4. While the vegetables cook, mix the flour and butter in a bowl for thickening. Keep this mixture cool until ready to be used. 5. When finished boiling, puree the boiled vegetables through a sieve. 6. Add the flour and butter mix to the soup and stir thoroughly. 7. Return to the heat in a clean pan and stir until the butter and flour have mixed in fully. 8. Mix in the cream. 9. Season with more salt, pepper and cayenne to taste, then serve.
