Every week, a gaggle of us get together to have a peek at what’s coming up in the Fruit & Veg Boxes. Our colleague Stef inspired the idea for this recipe on unpacking the Keen Cook’s Box.

Method
1. Wash and scrub your Jerusalem artichokes clean. Thinly slice them, the mushrooms and your spring onions or leeks (clean them first, too).
2. Set a pot over high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, just enough to coat the pan. Swirl in the veg. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper. Lower heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, for 15 mins or till the veg has softened and picked up a little colour.
3. Pour in the stock. Simmer 5 mins or till the artichokes are fully tender. Peel, core and roughly chop the apple. Add it to a blender with the simmering stock and veg.
4. Blend till smooth. Add a good pinch of thyme leaves. Trickle in a little water, milk or cream in at the end, till the soup is as thin or as thick as you like it. Season to taste. Serve a pinch of fresh thyme leaves sprinkled over the top.
Gorgeous soup, very well balanced flavours and straightforward to prepare. I can't eat onions or leeks so replaced with some finely grated carrots - give it a try!
