CREAM OF JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE SOUP

Steps:
- In a stainless steel or enameled kettle combine the Jerusalem artichokes, drained, the sliced celery, the water, the broth, the wine, and the mustard and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. In a blender purée the mixture in batches, transferring it as it is puréed to a bowl, pour the purée into the kettle, cleaned, and stir in the half-and-half, the nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup over moderate heat, stirring, until it barely reaches a boil, ladle it into heated bowls, and garnish each serving, with a celery leaf.
Tips:
- To achieve a smooth and creamy soup texture, blend the Jerusalem artichokes and vegetable broth until velvety.
- Sautéing the Jerusalem artichokes in butter before simmering enhances their flavor and adds a nutty aroma.
- Use a high-quality saffron for the saffron cream; its distinct flavor and color will elevate the soup.
- For a richer soup, use heavy cream instead of milk in the saffron cream.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or tarragon for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve the soup immediately, as it tends to thicken over time.
