Jerusalem Artichoke and Hazelnut Soup Recipe
(serves 4–6)
Jerusalem Artichokes have a fearsome reputation for causing wind after you've eaten them. Adding the herb Winter Savory to the soup will counter their effect (as indeed will eating Jerusalem Artichokes regularly).
(adapted from a recipe by Jane Baxter)
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 oz (25g) butter
- 1 lb (500g) Jerusalem artichokes
- 28 fl oz (800ml) chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 teaspoons winter savory, chopped
- 3½ fl oz (100ml) cream (or milk)
- 3½ oz (100g) hazelnuts, chopped, toasted and ground
- salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Warm the olive oil and butter in a large pan and gently fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Meanwhile, clean and thinly slice the Jerusalem artichokes, then add to the pan, along with the chopped winter savory.
- Pour over the stock, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the Jerusalem artichokes are tender.
- Blend the mixture until smooth, using a liquidiser or a stick blender.
- Return to the heat, stir in the hazelnuts and cream. Add more stock or milk if you prefer a thinner soup.
- Season to taste, and serve.
- Serving suggestion: add a few croutons, or some streaky bacon, fried until crisp and then crumbled into pieces.
