In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, thyme and bay leaf; cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in flour; cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add Jerusalem artichokes and potatoes, stirring well. Add broth; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with wooden spoon. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are very tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Discard thyme and bay leaf. Stir in cream; season with salt and pepper. Using immersion blender, purée until smooth. (Make-ahead: Can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 3 days.)
Divide soup among bowls; drizzle with Parsley Oil, if desired. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, poppy seeds and parsley leaves.
