· 1 litre fresh vegetable stock
· 500ml cream
· Salt & white pepper to taste
· Good quality White truffle oil to garnish
Method:

5. With a hand blender, purée until the soup is velvety smooth. Check the seasoning of the soup and adjust to your taste. This soup is a beautiful creamy white colour.
6. When ready to serve, ladle into your favourite soup bowl and drizzle with a good quality white truffle oil. Perfect served with AVOCA’s freshly baked brown bread!
**Tip: Be mindful not to colour any of the vegetables when first sautéing as this will change the colour of the soup. Use white pepper as this will blend nicely through the soup without changing the colour.
