  • Heat chicken broth and water in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Squeeze lemon juice in and stir. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add red bell pepper; grill until somewhat soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer red bell pepper to the stockpot; add tomatoes, artichokes, potato, carrot, celery, green onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Increase heat to high. Bring to a boil; cook until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in cream and wine.
  • Fill blender halfway with the vegetable-broth mixture. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to puree. Pour into a separate pot. Repeat with remaining vegetable-broth mixture.
  • Pour all the pureed mixture back into the original stockpot; add chicken and black pepper. Heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
