Jerusalem artichoke is a traditional Nordic root vegetable with a mild, nutty flavor that makes a wonderful velvety soup. Topped with crispy fried artichoke chips, pumpkin seeds, and thin slices of Norwegian cured ham. A great autumn or winter starter.

Peel the Jerusalem artichokes and place them in a bowl of cold water with 2 tsp vinegar to prevent browning. Reserve a couple of artichokes and place the rest in a pot.
Pour in 1 dl cream and add enough water to barely cover the artichokes. Simmer until completely tender.
Drain most of the cooking liquid into a bowl and reserve it. Blend the artichokes with an immersion blender or in a food processor until smooth. Thin with the reserved cooking liquid to your desired soup consistency.
Add the remaining cream and bring back to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and a few drops of lemon juice.
Slice the reserved artichokes thinly and pat dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the slices until crisp and golden, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
Ladle the soup into four deep bowls and top with the fried artichoke chips, chopped parsley, and pumpkin seeds.
Serve with thin slices of cured ham on the side.
