Thanks to member, Augusta ‘Olafsson of Denmark for submitting this soul soothing soup recipe!

Augusta writes: “I made a yummy soup for my holiday challenge entry. My family really enjoys it and I hope you “tribies” will like it too. I use Jerusalem artichoke for this soup because I really like the flavour, and here in Denmark it's in season so I'm looking for different ways to enjoy it.”
