Directions
01
In large saucepan over medium, heat olive oil. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add in garlic and sherry and cook for 1 minute. Add stock and potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, then add peas and continue to cook until potatoes are fork-tender, approximately another 15 minutes.

With immersion blender, or transferring to blender, purée soup until smooth. Add truffle oil and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if using. Optionally, serve with extra truffle oil drizzled overtop, but remember: a little goes a long way. Top with pea sprouts, if using.
