Name: Cream of Artichoke and Jerusalem Artichoke Soup
Yield: Makes 6 servings

This recipe calls for both "true" artichokes — known botanically as globe artichokes — and Jerusalem artichokes, which are actually an unrelated root vegetable (sometimes called Sun Chokes). In the soup, the Jerusalem artichokes enhance the flavor of the leafed variety.

Cooks' note:

• Soup keeps 3 days. Cool completely, uncovered, and then chill, covered.
