Celery Root Soup with Truffle Oil is a very unique blend of flavors that tastes fantastic together. This soup is a spectacular starter for a dinner party. It is easy-to-make and fun to mix things up with something new and unexpected. It has a creamy texture and rich taste in every spoonful.

Over low heat, reheat soup until warm. Serve in warm soup bowls with a drizzle of truffle oil on the surface of the soup.
