    INGREDIENTS
    • 1.5kg / 3lb Jerusalem artichokes
    • 1 onion
    • 4-5 sticks celery
    • 55g / 2oz ham
    • 1 blade of mace (or ground mace)
    • 1 heaped tsp sugar
    • 1.2L / 4 UK pints chicken or veal stock
    • 55g / 2oz salted butter
    • 3 tbsp flour
    • 300ml / 1/2 UK pint double cream
    • Salt and pepper
    • Cayenne pepper
    METHOD
    1. Cut the artichokes into small-ish equal pieces so they cook evenly.
    2. Place in a pan with the diced celery, onion, ham, mace, sugar and stock.
    3. Heat on a rolling boil for 45 minute to 1 hour until the vegetables are soft.
    4. While the vegetables cook, mix the flour and butter in a bowl for thickening. Keep this mixture cool until ready to be used.
    5. When finished boiling, puree the boiled vegetables through a sieve.
    6. Add the flour and butter mix to the soup and stir thoroughly.
    7. Return to the heat in a clean pan and stir until the butter and flour have mixed in fully.
    8. Mix in the cream.
    9. Season with more salt, pepper and cayenne to taste, then serve.

    4:19 Ways to thicken soups:
    1. Egg yolks makes it velvety, but it is easy to curdle.
    2. Arrowroot makes it glossy, but is easily overcooked.
    3. Cornflour is the easiest but you have to cook it well through.
    4. Butter and flour is Mrs. Crocombe's favorite.

    The “digestive effect” of sunchokes is caused by inulin, which is an oligosaccharide (complex starch). If you already eat foods with enriched fiber content you are not likely to notice much because many fiber supplements contain inulin, especially chicory which is often used in fortified bread. If you aren’t sure, try a small amount at first as the effects can be quite painful.

    • @laerwen

    Beurre manié (the mix of butter and flour) is a very good way to thicken soups and sauces. The only downside is that the dish needs to continue cooking afterwards, otherwise you get a "raw flour" taste.

    in Italian GIRASOLE- "jeehrah-sohleh"- (as she says refered to the artichoke flowers) in terms of pronunciation, is the correspondent term for "sunflower" but it litteraly means "follows*/turns with* the sun". so it makes sense since the flower of the artichoke seems to follow the sun.
