Cream of Jerusalem Artichoke Soup
Jerusalem Artichokes are tubers and are also known as sunchokes and come from a sunflower species. The flower blooms throughout the summer and the tubers are harvested and in season from October to March. If you like to grow your own fruits and veggies these are very easy to grow. They are drought tolerant and don’t require a lot of water. Jerusalem Artichokes have a delicious nutty flavor that makes this soup come alive.
