Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Prepare 1 litre 500 ml Jerusalem artichokes.

Peel and wash 1 litre 500 ml turnip.

Cut thin slices (the mandolin is ideal for this).

Prepare 3 shallots and slice it.

Stage 5

Add 3000 ml water and 3 chicken stock cubes.

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

Cook for a further 2 or 3 minutes.

Stage 9

Then blend the soup to finish.
