Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Prepare 500 g Jerusalem artichokes.

Prepare 500 g turnips, keeping the tops.

Cut turnips and Jerusalem artichokes into thin strips (a mandolin is ideal for this).

Prepare 1 shallot and chop.

Stage 2

Wash the turnip leaves like lettuce, then drain.

Stage 3

Melt 30 g butter in a large saucepan on high heat. When good and hot, add the onion, salt and pepper.

Cook for 1 or 2 minutes without colouring.

Stage 4

Add the turnip and artichoke slices, mix well and leaves to cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Stage 5

Add 1 litre water and 1 chicken stock cube.

Stage 6

Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and leave to simmer until the artichokes are tender (they take the longest).

Stage 7

Add the turnip tops.

Stage 8

Cook for a further 2 or 3 minutes.

Stage 9

Then blend the soup to finish.

Stage 10

Your turnip and Jerusalem artichoke soup is ready. Serve garnished with a few shavings of Parmesan, if you like.

Remarks

You can use vegetable stock instead of the chicken stock cube and water.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
