  I made this last autumn when we were given lots by a neighbour. It tasted delicious, but I'm afraid it made me terribly ill. It's commonly known that jerusalem artichokes can give people wind and this was the effect it had on the rest of my family, which was fine. Unfortunately I suffered for 24 hours afterwards with crippling gripe and diarrhea after eating this, and will not be eating it again! So if you suffer from IBS or have a delicate stomach, perhaps you'd better avoid this!

  I've made this a few times now, having an abundance of Jerusalem artichokes on my allotment and each time varied it slightly, e.g using bought stock or a mixture of stock and milk. I've also varied the seasoning and found that a good grind of pepper an a little ground cumin complements the earthiness of the JA. This really is a lovely soup and makes a wonderful warming starter at this time of year. We certainly haven't suffered from the digestive problems that can be associatd with this vegetable by cooking them in this way.

  Jerusalem artichokes shouldn't be eaten before they have hardened off... they need to have weathered a frost. February onwards should be fine. If you cook them while soft, they will give you nasty wind problems, but nothing serious... unless you're trapped in a lift with someone.
