So I made this recipe recently and it was SO yummy! I LOVE truffles, so any receipe I find with truffle oil or truffle Salt, I’m inclined to try. I can tell you that it was super easy to make, with the exception of not putting the top on the blender tightly the first time before blending…thus decorating my kitchen counter and floor with yummy soup. But I can tell you the recipe was well worth it! Hope you enjoy!
