A healthier take on the traditional mushroom soup: blended with Jerusalem Artichokes! I love the combination of these two vegetables. Because it is a great balance between savory & creamy. The roasted mushrooms add savory and umami flavor, while the Jerusalem Artichokes add some creaminess to the soup.
