Jerusalem artichokes, also called sunchokes, are neither native to Jerusalem nor a type of artichoke. Oddly enough, they’re actually a North American vegetable that vaguely resembles ginger root, with a slightly nutty flavor. They’re delicious roasted, and are a wonderful addition to this soup, lending it a creamy texture and amazing flavor.
