Every winter, I make this tasty, thicker winter soup a few times.
It is a lovely recipe from Delia Smith.
It is also a ” good for you ” soup. It has Jerusalem artichokes, carrots, celery roots , one onion & vegetable stock.
I am sending this tasty soup over @ my friend’s Brittany’s blog: Real Sustenance. She organises a speciall Seasonal’s Sundays & you can also take part! Juct click onto the link & you will find out!!
Ingredients:
450 gr of peeled carrots, top & tail removed & cut into rounds
1100 gr of Jerusalem artichokes,weighted with peel on, peeled & cut into 2 or 4, placed into a bowl with cold water & some white wine vinegar( to keep the white colour )
baking margarine or some butter
3 or 4 celery roots & tops, cleaned & cut into little pieces
1 large white onion, peeled & finely diced
1.5 liter of a good gluten-free vegetable stock
Method:
1. Take a large cooking pot or a steam cooker & heat up on medium. Add some baking margarine or some butter to the pot & let it melt.
2. When hot & sizzling, add the chopped onion & chopped celery, stir frequently for about 5 minutes. Drain the Jerusalem artichokes & add them to the pot. Stir well. Let the vegetables sweat for another 10 minutes on medium heat. When the vegetables are soft, add the vegetable stock & stir well. Turn the heat on high. When the soup is just boiling, I place the steamlid on the cooking pot & let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes on a high heat or until the air is sizzling very much, makes a lot of noise & then I turn the heat off. Carefully, place the pot on another place on the stovepot. With the help of a wooden spoon, I open the valve of the steamcooker & let the steam slip away! When there is no steam left and it has stopped sizzling, you can open the steamlid. If you don’t have a steamcooker, just cook the veggies al dente. Taste the soup. If you want, add a few grinds of black pepper. Taste again. Now, mix the soup. It is a thicker but lovely soup.
3. Laddle your soup in nice soup bowls & add a few fresh washed parsley leaves on top! Enjoy!
This is also good with some fresh cream poured over the top of the soup!

Sophie, what a beautiful picture! I love all of your unique and delicious soups. Thank you for posting this one!
Look at how beautiful the colour of that soup is.
I'm not sure I've ever tried Jerusalem artichokes, let alone cooked with them. The soup looks wonderful, and the picture is of great quality!
I adore artichokes. Love, love, love them. I make a lot of artichoke tapenade but had never thought to make soup. I can't wait. Blessings!Lacy
Lovely soup, actually I still have not used artichokes in my cooking yet. I saw many today in the supermarket. Hope to try soon. Your soup looks very comforting. BTW, thanks for your resto suggestion last time. I managed to go out in Brussels for a few hours in dry condition for the two days I was there.
This IS a very lovely photo and I like that the ingredients are simple, so that even I could probably make it. Yum!Have a good Sunday.Paz
SophieI can't believe this soup does not contain any cream and yet it looks so creamy and rich! I love it! It is high time I start using Jerusalme artichokes!
Hi Sophie!This is a beautiful soup. I just bought some Jerusalem artichokes today, so guess what I'm making tonight? 🙂
Dear Sophie I love Delia Smith recipes and this look wonderful! gloria
Nice hot soup is so comforting in the cold winter.
What a gorgeous light soup – it sounds amazing!
What an interesting soup. I've never heard of the combo, but it looks delicious!
I learned to love jerusalem artichokes in Paris last year – we had it roasted with monkfish – it was so delicious we ended up eating it three times while we were there! I always thought it would only taste good roasted – but now, you've convinced me otherwise!
An excellent and original soup, perfect with today's awful weather ! ;o)Have a nice day !Hélène
When ever they show delia smith in bbc i watch them. Love the soup.
Une soupe aux artichauts. Ça doit être excellent.Il faut que je teste.A bientôt.
That soup is beautiful! What an appealing color. never had Jerusalem artichokes but now I definitely want to!
I love the color, and it sounds delicious! I should look into Delia's recipes–I've never cooked her food and it always sounds great.
I want this soup!
Oh yes, shall get some of those delectable artichokes. What a beautiful, flavor-filled soup.
What a gorgeous, creamy-looking soup! Looks fabulous.
Sophie,I've never seen Jerusalem artichokes for sale here. Too bad, your soup sounds amazing.
The soup looks so creamy, and flavourful!
How perfect, I was just day dreaming about buying some sunchokes, but couldn't figure out what to do with them. This soup looks like a great place to start!
You now doing Delia, or your own versions of her soup…I must say it looks very very nice for this cold weather we having of -5 Celsius, very nice and thick soup is very comforting. Cheers for the lovely recipe. kisses xx
Hey Sophie!!Greetings from Nashville Tennessee! Home of Feeding Groom. Thanks so much for all of your support this year. You're my inspiration and I can't wait to try this soup.Happy March…Mary
This soup looks and sounds wonderful!
This soup makes me wish it was cold enough to eat hot food! Summer is almost over, I will bookmark this one for sure!
What a delicious and healthy soup Sophie! It's a beautiful vibrant color too. Love it!
Once again another delicious recipe.
another simple yet delicious soup from you!!!
beautiful soup, sophie! i love the color that carrots lend to a dish, and i really think artichokes should be used more often. great recipe!
Love this soup, Sophie. I'm familiar with celery root but I've never tasted Jerusalem artichoke. Does it taste like the plain, old grocery store variety. Great flavors going on here.
j'adore le topinambour, en soupe, en gratin ou encore à la vinaigrette !!!je dois en planter cette année au potager !!!merci pour cette jolie recette !!bises virginie
Hi Sophie,I've missed all my bloggie friends, I've been working flat out at the hospital, hope you're well. I will give your soup a go this weekend, I have to admit I have yet to try Jerusalem artichokes, so it will be a first for me, hope I can get them at the supermarket x
What a great soup! Can't believe there isn't any cream in here. I love those artichokes!
Sophie, if you make this luscious, thick, warming soup every year it must be great! It looks delicious! And with the winter back in full force soup is a must.
I have never tried them either, the soup looks wonderful!
We never eat Jerusalem artichokes or sun chokes very often, they are hard to come by here. The Food Co-op usually has them, but I rarely think of them. That soup looks delicious, just added the chokes to my grocery list!
I didn't know they had Jerusuluam artichokes!
Sophie, artichoke and carrot? Sounds and looks delicious…great soup!
Yum! I love sunchokes and what a great combination with carrots! A very yummy soup!
Looks so creamy and yummy! First time I am seeing this Jerusalem artichokes.
that is a lovely soup Sophie. I always trust you to make something health every time and delicious too! I love delia smith…I have her book on bakes …I used to watch her tv show a long time ago…shes really cute .
The only thing I am going to miss about winter is "good for you" soups. Yours looks lovely. The color is beautiful. Thank you for sharing, Sophie…
Got to try this creative dish…never thought of pairing carrots and artichokes!
Delia's recipes are wonderful. Great choice, the soup looks beautiful.*kisses* HH
That's a lovely photo, Sophie! I love artichokes, but have never made a soup with them. The color is divine and it looks like you have added cream, but it's not an ingredient. However did it get so creamy? I'm not familiar with Delia Smith, but I'll sure look her up!
I love the picture! That looks really comforting and delicious!
Hi Sophie! 🙂 What a wonderful looking soup – so unique! I've been having nothing but lentil soup for a while now and this inspired me to try something new. I've never had artichoke soup before so I'm so excited to try this 🙂
A delicious photo of a very gorgeous lovely soup! Healthy and beautiful Sophie!
A very flavorful soup! something I's surely love!Cheers,Rosa

What a gorgeous color and perfect for Spring…which is upcoming soon I hope!
Never heard of artichoke soup and this sounds delicious!!!! Wow….
Sophie, thanks for sharing this vegetarian soup! I've been always wanting to use these ingredients for a soup, glad I found one now. Thanks!
Not a big fan of artichokes but this looks delicious and beautiful photo Sophie!
Jerusalem Artichokes grow along the edges of farm fields around here, though I've never dug them up. I heard they make you a little bloated, have you had any troubles with that?
yummy thick and creamy
Wow this soup look so good, I think I'll make it for dinner tonight. Thanks!
I never heard of Jerusalem Artichokes before, I'm not sure if they sell them where I live. This soup sounds so yummy!
I've never cooked with Jerusalem artichokes…..looks like a lovely bowl
