Dietary recipe
This velouté is a recipe that is both delicious and low in calories. Jerusalem artichokes are rich in fiber and potassium, which is good for digestion and maintaining good blood pressure. Each serving of this soup contains approximately 200 calories. For a lighter version, you can replace the crème fraîche with natural yogurt or soy cream.
Tips and variations
For an extra touch of indulgence, don’t hesitate to sprinkle your velouté with a few crushed hazelnuts. This will add crunch and a mild flavor that pairs well with the Jerusalem artichokes. And for those who like bolder flavors, why not try a curry version? Simply add a teaspoon of curry powder at the same time as the vegetable stock. It’s a great way to vary the pleasures! A little advice : Jerusalem artichokes tend to darken once peeled. To avoid this, sprinkle them with lemon juice as soon as you cut them.
