Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over low-medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, smoked bacon pieces, and finely chopped leek (white part only). Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes until softened but not colored.
-
Step 2.
Add the crushed garlic and thyme leaves, and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring.
-
Step 3.
Add the diced celeriac and chicken stock to the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
-
Step 4.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 30 minutes until the celeriac is tender.
-
Step 5.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly for a few minutes. Add the double cream, then blend the soup until smooth using a hand-held immersion blender or in a food processor.
-
Step 6.
Season the soup to taste with sea salt and white pepper. Pass the soup through a fine sieve into a clean pot or bowl to ensure a silky texture.
-
Step 7.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish each serving with chopped chives and either fresh truffle slices or a few drops of truffle oil. Serve immediately.
