Cream of Jerusalem Artichoke Soup
Michelle Chen
"A Jerusalem artichoke is a white-fleshed root related to the sunflower. It is not related to the thistle-like globe artichoke, even though they share a common name and taste rather similar. This soup is wonderfully rich and creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley."

Not sure if I did something wrong, but I found that the Jerusalem artichokes did not soften enough to puree smoothly - I even simmered them for an additional 20 min before trying to puree them. ...

This soup is delicious. I had no brandy, but added several garlic cloves, also a touch of nutmeg. I used my immersion blender to puree.

Wonderful recipe. I love making soups and even though I had never tried Jerusalem Artichokes before, it sounded interesting. It was easy to make and delicious. I will definately make it again.
