Serves 4

500 g Jerusalem artichoke
1/2 onion
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp EVOO
3 sprigs thyme
1 L chicken bouillon or water
1/2 dl cream
Sea salt
Freshly-ground pepper
2-3 tbsp cider vinegar
50 g chorizo
1/2 bundle chive

Peel the Jerusalem artichoke, reserve two for garnish and dice the rest. Peel the onion and garlic and dice them. Sauté the Jerusalem artichoke in a pot with olive oil, onion, garlic, and thyme for a couple minutes. Don’t let the vegetables take colour.
Add bouillon or water and let boil 10-15 minutes, or until the Jerusalem artichokes are tender. Add cream and cook a couple minutes more. Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and vinegar.
Cut the chorizo in small dice and fry in a pan until crisp. Cut the last 2 raw Jerusalem artichokes in small dice and marinate them with EVOO, salt, pepper, vinegar, and minced chive.
Serve in soup plates in which you’ve added some of the raw Jerusalem artichoke, chorizo, and minced chive in the bottom of each soup plate.
