Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil
- 14 oz (400g) jerusalem artichokes (aka sunchokes) peeled and sliced
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 4 cups (1litre) vegetable stock
- 1 cup (250ml) milk or vegan milk
- sprig of rosemary
Instructions
- Peel and chop the onion, and peel and slice the sunchokes.
- Heat the butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the onions, jerusalem artichokes and cook, stirring often, until it all begins to brown and caramelise - about 15 minutes.
- Remove a few tablespoons of the browned jerusalem artichokes and onion to reserve as a garnish, if desired.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for a further minute, then add the vegetable stock and milk. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the rosemary and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Skim off any froth that forms on the surface.
- Remove the rosemary and puree the soup in a blender (don’t overfill, you may need to do it in batches) or with a hand held stick blender.
- Divide into bowls and top with the reserved browned Jerusalem artichokes and a pinch of pepper.

Notes
- Storing: Once cooled, this soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze the completely cooled soup in a freezer-safe airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight before reheating.
- Variations:Add a splash of truffle oil for an extra decadent flavor.
- Use a mix of your favorite herbs to flavor the soup in addition to rosemary and take out before blending. Tip: you can wrap the herbs in a small piece of muslin/cheesecloth before adding to the soup, to make it all easier to remove.
- Add a little swirl of extra virgin olive oil and cream before serving.
- In place of the milk, use your favorite plant-based milk.
- Use Vegan Chicken Broth instead of the vegetable stock.
- Spice it up with some cayenne pepper to your liking.
- Top it with a grating of parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of Vegan Parmesan Cheese for a salty bite.
