Ingredients

  • tablespoons butter unsalted
  • cup onion chopped
  •  celery stalks chopped
  • large garlic cloves chopped
  • pounds jerusalem artichokes peeled cut into chunks
  • quart chicken stock see gluten-free for vegetarian option, and stock if cooking (use vegetable stock )
  • servings salt and pepper black to taste

Equipment

  • bowl
  • pot
  • sieve
  • blender
  • immersion blender

Directions

  1. Heat the butter in a soup pot over medium-high heat and cook the onions and celery until soft, about 5 minutes. Do not brown them.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Sprinkle with salt.
  4. Add the jerusalem artichokes and the chicken stock to the pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, until the jerusalem artichokes begin to break down, 45 minutes to an hour.
  5. Purée the soup: Using an immersion blender or upright blender, purée the soup. If using an upright blender, fill the blender bowl up only to a third of capacity at a time, if the soup is hot, and hold down the lid while blending. Alternately, you can push the soup through the finest grate on a food mill, or push it through a sturdy sieve.
  6. Add salt to taste.
  7. Sprinkle with freshly grated black pepper to serve.
