Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 lb sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes)
- 24 oz vegetable stock or chicken stock
- 4 oz milk whole
- ¾ tsp Kosher or sea salt Diamond Crystal Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash, trim and cut the sunchokes into pieces.
- Pour the oil into a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped celery and onion and cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped sunchokes, sprinkle with a dash of salt, and sauté for about 7 or 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
- If any of the veg starts to brown, lower the heat. Pour in the stock, and increase the heat. Bring the sunchoke soup to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for about 45 minutes or until the sunchokes are tender.
- Remove from the heat and purée with an immersion blender until smooth (if using a blender, allow the soup to cool before blending, for safety reasons.) Put the pot back onto the heat.
- Add the milk (if using) and stir in well. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add a splash of cream or more pepper, if desired, and serve hot. I suggest serving this soup with savory parsnip scones or cheese scones.

Notes
- Chicken stock may be used instead of vegetable stock.
- Better than Bouillon mixed with water is also an option.
- Add a splash of heavy whipping cream to serve, if desired.
