1 medium potato, diced
1 litre light vegetable stock
150ml double cream
1-2 tsp truffle oil
To serve:

1 Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan and add the onion and garlic. Cook very gently for 10 minutes until the onion is very soft. Add the cauliflower and potato and cook for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
2 Blend until perfectly smooth, return to the pan and add the cream and truffle oil. Check the seasoning and either warm through to serve or cool and chill until needed.
3 To make the cauliflower garnish, preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Place the cauliflower slices on a baking sheet and brush with the oil. Roast for 20 minutes or until golden and lightly charred. Scatter on the soup with a dash of olive oil and a few sage leaves.
