Try our take on this creamy, indulgent soup below.
Ingredients you will need:
- 50g of butter.
- 2 white onions.
- 1kg of Jerusalem artichoke.
- 1 litre of chicken stock.
- 100ml of double-cream.
- 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- 80g of pre-cooked shredded chicken.
Method
- Heat your butter in a large saucepan and fry off your onions and artichokes; this should take around 10 minutes until they’re soft.
- Add your stock and bring it to a gentle boil; reduce the heat and let simmer for an additional 20 minutes. The artichokes should become very tender.
- Take off the heat and blend your stock with your double cream until you create a smooth purée.
- If eating immediately, stir in your shredded chicken and cook through until everything is hot.
- Serve in bowls and season with freshly ground black pepper or chilli flakes for extra flavour.
Tip: Fry up some bacon lardons and stir them in for an extra burst of flavour.
