Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek or 1 onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) diced Jerusalem artichoke
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) fennel pieces
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) diced celeriac
6 cups (1.5 litres) boiling water
1/4 cup (60 ml) 35% cream (optional)
Fennel leaves
1 tablespoon lemon oil (optional)
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the leek for 3 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon of water, if necessary, to avoid burning.
Add the Jerusalem artichoke, fennel, and celeriac, season and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the water and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Reserve some of the cooking water and purée the vegetables in a blender, adding the reserved liquid, as needed.
Adjust the seasoning and add the cream, if desired.
Garnish with fennel leaves and a dash of lemon oil, if desired.
