Carrot & Jerusalem Artichoke Soup: I freestyled at the stove this evening and it was awesome.→[More:]Since It was freestyle, I can't really give you a recipe but I can tell you this:
2kg of peeled and chopped carrots
about 4 fat handfuls of peeled and chopped Jerusalem artichokes
2 small sauteed onions
1lr chicken broth
about a half cup of orange juice
bunch o' spices
Tons o' awesome

Boil it all up and purée it with a Stabmixer.

Served with a glass of white wine.

Mmmmm... Lecker!

I never had Jerusalem artichokes before. My colleague gave me a bunch yesterday. They have kind of a potato-like taste.

Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

That sounds great. I used to have an immersion blender. I don't know what I did with it.

Okay. 12 hours later and I gotta tell ya, jerusalem artichokes cause flatulence.

From the wikipedia:

"which way soever they be dressed and eaten, they stir and cause a filthy loathsome stinking wind within the body, thereby causing the belly to be pained and tormented, and are a meat more fit for swine than men."

Somebody open the window!
