The truffle oil is not essential, but it's a nice indulgent touch. Since the oil's flavor dissipates with heat, add the oil to this first-course soup just before serving.

Uh oh, there you go trying to convert me into a soup-aholic again lol! Great post, thanks!


Well, here come the calories again, but this sounds too good to pass by - thanks again for a very nice soup recipe...now if only fall would arrive.


YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The base of the soup was good but it needs some spices added or it has no flavor. Try to add oregano or thyme or something to add "the wow factor"


I bought truffle oil on a whim. Had no recipe for it... Now I do! This sounds awesome!
