Palestine Soup (Cream Of Artichoke)

british, dairy, soups, starters, vegetables

450 gms jerusalem artichokes (large)
100 g onions; chopped
1 clove garlic; crushed
30 gms celery; chopped
120 g butter
2 slice bacon; unsmoked, chopped
1.333 liters light chicken stock
2 tablespoon parsley; chopped
4 tablespoon double cream
  salt & pepper
  cro–tons

Artichokes can be peeled raw like potatoes, but as they are so knobbly it is
less wasteful to scrub and blanch them in boiling salted water. After about
5 minutes, or a little longer, the skins can be removed quite easily (but
run the artichokes under cold water first). Keep the water they cooked in,
unless it tastes very harsh (it does sometimes when the artichokes are
becoming old).
(What I do is say "b*gger the knobs" and cut them off.)

Cook onion, garlic and celery in half the butter until soft. Add the bacon
and stir about for a few minutes, then the peeled artichokes and 4/5ths of
the stock. Simmer until the vegetables are cooked.

Liquidize or sieve, adding the remaining stock and some of the original
cooking water if the soup needs diluting further.

Put the remaining butter together with the parsley and cream into a warmed
soup tureen. Reheat the soup to just under boiling point, correct the
seasoning, and pour it into the tureen. Stir it well as you do this, to mix
in the butter, cream and parsley. Serve with the cro–tons.
