Sopa de Topinambur

== Description ==
This unusual soup is good both hot and cold - but particularly hot, I think, when cold winds are blowing and these sunchokes start showing up in the market.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 lb Jersualem artichokes (or "sunchokes")
* 1 onion finely chopped
* 4 cup vegetable stock or chicken stock
* salt to taste
* freshly-ground white pepper to taste
* ½ cup heavy cream
=== Garnish ===
* 1 to 2 tbsp minced cilantro or parsley
== Directions ==
# Peel the sunflower rhizomes and slice them thinly.
# Put them in a medium saucepan with the onion and stock - bring to a boil and simmer, covered, about 30 minutes.
# Puree in a blender, solids first, then pour back into the saucepan.
# Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in the cream, and reheat.
# When ready to serve, ladle into individual bowls.
# Pour 2 tablespoons of cream in the middle of each bowl and swirl in a figure eight.
# Top with minced cilantro or parsley.
