Sauté Vegetables: Add the olive oil to a soup pot and set it over medium heat. Sauté the onion and leek for around 5 minutes, or until they are tender.
Cook Artichokes: Add the Jerusalem artichokes, water, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until the artichokes are soft.
Blend Soup: Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Blend the mixture until completely smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Warm the soup gently before serving.
Crisp Sage Leaves: In a small sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until they are slightly crisp. Place the sage leaves on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve: Serve the soup hot, garnished with a couple of crispy sage leaves.

Chop Evenly: Cut the leek and onion into small, even pieces. This helps them cook better and makes the soup taste good.
Blend Carefully: If your blender is small, blend the soup in parts to avoid spills and get a smooth soup.
Season Slowly: After blending, taste the soup and add more salt or pepper if needed. Do this slowly to get the right taste.
Serve Right Away: Reheat the soup and serve it hot for the best taste and texture. Add the crispy sage leaves just before serving.
