Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 1 fat garlic clove, chopped
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
- Onion: 1 onion, chopped
- Thyme: small bunch thyme
- Potato: 1 potato (about 200g), chopped
- Celeriac: 1 celeriac (about 1kg), peeled and chopped
- Hazelnut: 50g blanched hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
- Veg Stock: 1l veg stock (check the label to ensure it's vegan - we used Marigold)
- Bay Leaves: 2 bay leaves
- Soya Cream: 100ml soya cream
- Truffle Oil: 1 tbsp truffle oil, plus an extra drizzle to serve
Directions
- In a large saucepan, heat the oil over a low heat. Tie the thyme sprigs and bay leaves together with a piece of string and add them to the pan with the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10 mins until softened but not coloured.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more, then tip in the celeriac and potato. Give everything a good stir and season with a big pinch of salt and white pepper. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for around 30 mins until the vegetables are completely soft.
- Discard the herbs, then stir through the cream, remove from the heat and blitz until completely smooth. Stir through 1/2 tbsp truffle oil at a time and taste for seasoning - the strength of the oil will vary, so it's better to start with less oil and add a little at a time.
- To serve, reheat the soup until piping hot, then ladle into bowls and top with the hazelnuts, some black pepper and an extra drizzle of truffle oil.
