The Victorian secret to a warming winter soup
In short: Discover how the curators at Audley End House prepare 'Palestine Soup,' a traditional festive dish that balances earthy Jerusalem artichokes with savory ham.
This light but warming winter bowl is a staple of Christmas dinner. The recipe relies on 1.5kg of Jerusalem artichokes, which are diced into equal pieces to ensure even cooking alongside celery, onion, and ham.
The soup achieves its signature texture by simmering the ingredients in chicken or veal stock for up to one hour before pureeing them through a sieve. A thickening agent made from flour and butter is stirred in at the end, finished with mace, cayenne pepper, and double cream.
