Ingredients
-
1 1/2 pounds
Jerusalem artichokes
-
1/2
lemon
-
2
shallots, roughly chopped
-
2
cloves garlic, roughly chopped
-
1
baking potato, peeled and chopped into chunks
-
6 cups
chicken stock
-
1 tablespoon
white truffle oil, plus more to taste
Directions
-
Peel the Jerusalem artichokes with a vegetable peeler. Save the peels and put the prepared artichokes into a bowl filled with water and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Cut each artichoke tube into thirds.
-
Dump the artichoke peels into the chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove and discard the peels, saving the stock.
-
In a clean soup pot over medium-high heat, sauté the shallot and garlic in 1 tablespoon truffle oil for just a moment. Add in the potato chunks and the chopped artichoke pieces, then pour in the chicken broth and bring just to a simmer. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft. Puree with an immersion blender or mash with a potato masher for a chunkier version. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if desired. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and drizzle with truffle oil.
