I scrubbed the sunchokes well but decided not to peel them. Dorie said this was optional so I took the easy route.
I love pureed soups and this was no exception. Given the cool reception of Jerusalem artichokes by the group I had low expectations for this soup but happily it exceeded all my expectations. I added heavy cream and the parsley coulis. I had all the same troubles the group had in making such a small portion of coulis come out in a blender. My husband and I could not taste the sunchokes particularly, it just tasted like a root vegetable soup but I would make it again.

Oh I LOVED the soup version of the JA. Yours looks lovely and much more seasonal than the salad (at least for us in the northern hemisphere anyway!)

Your sunchokes look so much more manageable than the ones I saw in pictures. And kudos for taking the easy way out and not peeling them.

Hmmmm, I think you gave the JA soup a thumbs up. I passed on making this – have never found the sunchokes – and wasn't very impressed with the rather negative comments of the group. But, although the soup is not pretty, it looks good and I am glad you found it sound. I think I'm curious enough that if I ever come across those little darlings, I'll buy some and make this dish.
