Equipment

  • 1 Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 pounds Jerusalem Artichoke cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 cups cannellini beans
  • 1 cup onion sweet chopped
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper black
  • 4 tsp parsley chopped
  • 4 tsp olive oil white truffle

Instructions

STEP 1: Prepare the Jerusalem artichokes.

  • Start by peeling theJerusalem artichokes and cut them in small cubes of equal size, so that they will cook evenly. Keep a knob of 2 inches on the side as you will use it to make the sunchocke chips. Boil them for 15 minutes in water and a few tablespoons of lemon juice.  

STEP 2: Prepare the base for your soup.

  • Add some extra virgin oil to a medium sized soup pot on low heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chopped onions and cook until the onions become translucent.

STEP 3: Add the remaining ingredients.

  • Once the onions are translucent, add the Jerusalem Artichoke and the vegetable broth and let it cook for a few minutes. Add the cannellini beans, salt and pepper and simmer for 20 minutes on medium heat. Let it cool down.  
  •  STEP 4: Add the soup to a food processor or blender.
  • Blend the soup until creamy. You could also use a stick immersion blender, but in this case blend it in batches.

STEP 5: Prepare the garnish and serve.  

  •  Put some oil in a shallow pan, when the oil is hot fry some artichoke slices until they are golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Let them drain on paper towels. Chop some parsley.
  • Arrange the vegetable soup in a plate, add the artichoke fries, some chopped parsley and a drizzle of white truffle oil. MANGIA and enjoy it!
