Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Prepare 1 onion and slice.

Peel and rinse 0 kg 2 g Jerusalem artichokes and slice into thinnish rounds.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Prepare 0 kg 2 g leek and slice thinly.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a large pan on medium heat. When good and hot add the sliced onion.

Salt, pepper and cook for 1 or 2 minutes without colouring.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Add the sliced artichokes, mix well and leave to cook gently for 2 or 3 minutes.

Stage 5 - 15 min.

Add 0 litre 4 ml water, 1 chicken stock cube, then salt and pepper lightly.

Leave to simmer uncovered until the artichokes are soft.

Stage 6 - 4 min.

Then add the leeks and cook for 3 or 4 minutes just until tender.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Finish by blending the soup.

Stage 8

Check the seasoning and your soup is ready. Serve as it is or garnished with morsels of lightly fried ham.

Remarks

The vegetables are cooked in two stages: the Jerusalem artichokes are simmered on their own first, as they take much longer to cook than the leeks. This allows us to cook the leeks until just done and keep their lovely green colour in the finished soup.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
