Instructions
Make the soup
In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil. Add onion, garlic, and thyme leaves and cook until softened but not colored, 5 to 10 minutes.
Chop the Jerusalem artichokes into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the saucepan and cook until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes more.
Make the artichoke chips
Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, finely slice the two unpeeled artichokes into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick slices.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the artichoke slices and fry, tossing until they're golden and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove soup from heat, add milk and cream, and use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully pour the soup into a regular blender and blitz until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divvy soup among warm bowls, top with a few artichoke crisps and a sprinkle of thyme leaves. Serve with bread on the side, if desired. A drizzle of truffle oil will not go amiss.
