Sunchoke Soup with Mushrooms

This sunchoke soup with mushrooms, has a lovely earthy taste. The nut-like taste of the sunchokes goes very well with the earthy taste of button mushrooms. A tasty, warming soup with plenty of umami.

Sunchokes are a root vegetable, known under a lot of different names. Jerusalem artichoke is the most common one but names like sunroot, earth apple or topinambour are also possible. The Italian name for the plant is “girasole articiocco”, which means “sunflower artichoke”. Which is probably where the name sunchoke comes from.

Sunchokes originally come from North-America and aren’t actually artichokes at all. They are however related to sunflowers, so at least that part of the name is correct. Like sunflowers, sunchokes are tall plants. They can grow up to 2 to 3 metres tall (six to ten feet). They have large leaves but the yellow flowers at the top are pretty small in comparison.

Sunchokes taste quite sweet with an earthy, nutty kind of undertone. They do well in all kinds of dishes, from purée to pizza. You can also eat them raw but this might not be a good idea for everyone. Jerusalem artichokes contain inuline, which the human digestive system can not break down. The results are a bit smelly. Which is why the vegetable has the nickname “fartichoke”. Peeling and cooking them before eating, will greatly reduce this effect though.

In this sunchoke soup with mushrooms , the sunchoke’s nut-like taste is goes very well with the earthy taste of the button mushrooms. Mushrooms also provide a lot of the umami taste. Technically speaking, umami is the taste of glutamate. But let’s be honest, that doesn’t sound very nice. Basically, umami is the savory taste found in broths, seared meats and ofcourse mushrooms.
