JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:

• Using a heavy casserole, sweat the onions in the olive oil over low heat, covered, about 20 minutes. Uncover, add the garlic and artichokes and increase heat. Continue sauteeing for a few more minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a spice grinder, grind the almonds, and mix with water. Whisk mixture into the soup with the saffron strands and the lemon juice. Reheat, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

CARROT, POTATO AND JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter with a dash of olive oil in a large pot and soften the onion for a few minutes, before adding the garlic.
• After a few minutes add spices and herbs, the carrots, potatoes and artichokes, and let them sweat for 10 minutes on a low heat with the lid on.
• Pour in the stock, stir well, put the lid back on and simmer for a further 20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
• You can the blend all or half of the soup. I personally prefer to leave some veggie chunks in mine!
• Taste to check the seasoning, re-heat and serve.

TURNIP AND JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:

• When you are preparing the artichokes, drop them into water with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar as you go so they don't discolour. Drain before adding to the recipe later.
• Start the soup by sauteing the onions in the oil for a couple minutes.
• Add the turnips and artichokes. Fry for 3 - 4 minutes, then put the lid on and sweat for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice to avoid sticking.
• You may need to add 1/4 cup water if things start to stick to the pot.
• Rinse the lentils in a sieve then add to the vegetables with the stock. Stir well and bring to the boil.
• Boil for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer for about 25 minutes.
• Remove the bay leaf.
• Liquidise if preferred, then season to taste.

SWEET POTATO AND LENTIL SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop the onions and sweet potatoes - can be chunky.
• Combine with the stock or water, lentils, garlic, cumin, cayenne and turmeric in a pot.
• Cover and bring to the boil. Simmer until the potatoes and lentils are cooked - about 20-30 minutes.
• Puree the soup, adding in the coriander and the juice of the lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste (lots of pepper for me).
