Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1, finely chopped
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons
- Chicken broth
- 4 cups

Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbling.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute to eliminate any raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in the heavy cream and finely chopped black truffle, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the truffle's rich flavor.
- Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the truffle oil for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped chives for a pop of color and freshness.
- Enjoy the luxurious flavors of this exquisite truffle soup!
Tips
- For an extra luxurious touch, consider adding a splash of white wine when sautéing the onions and garlic.
- If you can't find fresh black truffles, truffle salt can be a great alternative to enhance the flavor.
- Pair this soup with a crusty baguette or a light salad for a complete meal.
