Heat the butter and sauté the celery, shallots and garlic in it. Deglaze with white wine and vegetable stock, bring to the boil briefly, add cream and simmer the soup in an open pot over medium heat for about 30 minutes.
Then puree the soup, strain through a fine sieve and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and roast the bread cubes until golden. Drain on kitchen paper and lightly salt.
Bring the soup to the boil again briefly before serving and add the truffle oil. Mix the butter in smaller pieces with the whipped cream into the soup. Mix the soup until frothy, distribute on plates and add the croutons.
Tip:
The soup is very easy to freeze - preferably before the truffle oil, butter and whipped cream are added.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
