Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add 4 diced potatoes and 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.

- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over 4 slices of bread. Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Serve the creamy potato soup in bowls, drizzle with a little extra truffle oil, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve the garlic bread on the side. Enjoy!
Creamy Potato Soup with Truffle Oil is a luxurious and comforting dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. This rich and velvety soup has its origins in French and Italian cuisine, where truffles are highly prized for their earthy and aromatic flavor. The addition of truffle oil elevates the soup to a whole new level of indulgence, adding a subtle yet distinctive depth of flavor. The dish is often served with a side of garlic bread, which provides a perfect contrast to the creamy soup. The crispy, golden-brown bread, infused with the pungent aroma of garlic, complements the richness of the soup and adds a delightful crunch to each spoonful. In recent years, this classic dish has gained popularity in upscale restaurants and bistros around the world. Renowned chefs, such as Gordon Ramsay and Thomas Keller, have put their own spin on the recipe, incorporating their signature techniques and flavors to create a truly unforgettable dining experience.

When making this dish at home, it's crucial to use high-quality ingredients, especially when it comes to the truffle oil. A little goes a long way, so be sure to use a reputable brand to ensure the authentic and intense truffle flavor. Additionally, taking the time to make homemade garlic bread will truly elevate the dining experience, as the aroma of freshly baked bread and roasted garlic fills the kitchen.
