Peel the pumpkin and cut it into chunks.
Cut the knobbly bits off the Jerusalem artichokes, peel and dice.
Put the onion in a pot with some olive oil and fry for a few minutes.
Add the pumpkin and the artichokes and pot roast it for a few minutes, taking care not to burn any of it.
Add 500mL of water and cover the pot with a lid.
Let it boil for about 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Blend in a food processor until the soup is silky smooth.
Return to your pan.
Season the soup robustly with salt, pepper and some muscat and add the juice from the clementine.
You can add some more chopped clementine skin if you like the citrusy taste.
Then add the cream or mascarpone and adjust the thickness with a bit more water if needed. It shouldn’t be too thick or gloopy.
Cut the roasted bread into chunks and place in a bowl with some olive oil.
Chop the parsley and add everything to the soup once it’s been put into a serving bowl or individual bowls. That way, the bread remains crunchy and will be much more enjoyable.
