Jerusalem artichoke soup
A creamy and rich Jerusalem artichoke soup is perfect on a day like this. Not only is it meat-free Monday, but it’s also a cold autumn day here in Scandinavia. The season has changed and even though the sun might show itself, you can feel the change of the season. That is good news. At least when it comes to food. The foods available right now are amazing! One of which is the Jerusalem artichoke. I absolutely love Jerusalem artichoke soup. This recipe gives you a threesome of typical Scandinavian flavours, Jerusalem artichoke, dill and potatoes.
I think this or a version of this soup was one of the first things we were taught to cook in home economics class. I didn’t like it at all. I think that specific recipe skimped on the things that give this soup a rich flavour and creamy texture.
Cook it and serve it with sugar peas.
