Truffled Cauliflower Leek Soup
Ingredients
400g cauliflower cut into florets
1 large potato diced
1 clove garlic – crushed
1 medium leek – washed and sliced
1 medium onion diced
3 cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock
2 Tablespoons Tasmanian Truffled Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Tasmanian Truffled Butter
200ml Pouring Cream
Pinch salt
Minimum 10g Tamar Valley Truffle
Instructions
- Sauté onion, leek & garlic in a pot with the butter and oil.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of oil to drizzle as the garnish.
- Sauté slightly then add the cauliflower & potato, & continue until just soft.
- Add Stock & salt & simmer approx. 10 mins until all vegetables are cooked through.
- Put through wizz or mouli, re-heat adding cream (do not boil) and fold in some finely grated truffle.

Notes
Do not cook the truffle, the heat from the soup in its final stages will bring out the necessary aromas and flavours.
