Ingredients
Here are the ingredients needed to make Jerusalem artichoke soup with truffle oil for 4 people:

Preparation
The preparation of the Jerusalem artichoke soup is very simple.
1- Peel and wash the Jerusalem artichokes then cut them into small pieces.
2- In a stewpot, dilute the vegetable stock cube in 50 cl of water.
To note: if, like me, you are using a low-salt organic stock cube, add a pinch of salt.
3- Bring the vegetable stock to a boil. When it simmers, add the Jerusalem artichoke pieces.
4- Cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes.

Finishes
To turn this soup into a real party starter, I recommend adding truffle oil and hazelnut salt.
This salt is a Corsican specialty called salinu. It is a mixture of crushed hazelnuts and fleur de sel.
1- To prepare it yourself, mix 50 g of hazelnut powder with half a teaspoon of Guérande flower of salt.
2- When you are ready to serve your Jerusalem artichoke soup with truffle oil, add a drizzle of oil to each bowl and sprinkle with a good pinch of salt.
