Jerusalem Artichoke and Bacon Soup image

I love Jerusalem Artichokes, despite their 'fartichoke' reputation! I sometimes use half parsnips, half jerusalem artichokes in this recipe. You can also add about 200ml of cream, as the original in the UK's Independent newspaper called for, but I find it just fine without. Serve topped with croutons.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
6 slices streaky bacon, cut into rough 1cm pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon oil
5 cups chicken stock (a good quality cube dissolved in that amount of water will do) or 5 cups vegetable stock (a good quality cube dissolved in that amount of water will do)
500 g jerusalem artichokes, peeled and cut into rough 1cm chunks
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Gently cook the onion in the butter and oil for 3-4 minutes until soft, add the stock, season and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Add the artichokes and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the artichokes are cooked and the soup has thickened slightly.
  • Blend a cup of the soup and return to the pan, then stir in some cream, if desired.
  • Season to taste.
  • While the soup is cooking, fry the bacon until crisp and then cut into small pieces.
  • Sprinkle some on top of each bowl of soup along with some croutons, if desired.

I'm not a big fan of Jerusalem artichokes, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. The soup was okay, but I probably won't make it again.

This soup is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. The soup is so flavorful and comforting.

I'm not a fan of bacon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with bacon.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup and it was even better. I also used a reduced-fat bacon and it was still delicious.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover bacon. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. My kids loved the soup and they didn't even realize they were eating artichokes.
