White Cream of Jerusalem Artichoke Soup

A light, airy soup made from an exotic root! The Jerusalem artichoke (sunchoke) is a root vegetable that was well known even to ancient Native Americans. It's versatile — you don't have to cook it; you can simply grate it raw into a salad, but it also makes a delicate cream soup or a hearty side. Its flavor is fairly mild, with a slight nutty note. Here I suggest making a smooth cream soup of Jerusalem artichoke paired with other roots. I added turnip and parsnip — I just happened to find them at the market — but you can confidently use celery root or parsley root, or add potato or carrot (though then the color won't be pure white). In short, Jerusalem artichoke pairs well with all kinds of things.
