A lovely, chunky soup which tastes superb – the sweet, nutty taste of the artichokes combining beautifully with the other vegetable and herbs. Adding the bread and cheese topping is optional but turns the dish into a substantial lunch and makes it look even more special. Any reasonable strong cheese, that melts well, would be a suitable substitute for the Red Leicester. Mature cheddars and Gruyère are particularly good.

Recipe Notes
Jerusalem artichokes are well known for their effect on the digestive system, causing the production of large quantities of wind in many people! The addition of a little acid when cooking them - in this case, white wine vinegar - helps to reduce that effect.
