Best 6 Garlic And Egg Soup Soupe à Lail Recipes

PROVENçAL GARLIC SOUP (AïGO BOULIDO)

Steps:

• Step 1 - Peel the garlic cloves. In a pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Dump in the whole garlic cloves, sage and bay leaves. Simmer for about 15 minutes (lid off), until the garlic has softened.
• Step 2 - With a slotted spoon, remove the garlic cloves from the water and place them in a bowl. Mash them using the back of a fork until you reach a paste consistency. Mix in 1 tablespoon (15ml) of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
• Return the garlic to the broth, and reduce for 15 more minutes. Pass the broth through a fine-meshed strainer and return it to the pot. Bring to a low simmer again.
• Step 3 - Place egg whites in a small bowl and whisk with a fork to loosen (if using whole eggs, whisk them until blended). Slowly pour the beaten egg whites (or eggs) into the simmering broth, whisking them with a fork as you pour. Do not stop whisking until the eggs are cooked and appear as stringy egg drops. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Turn off the heat.
• Step 4 - Divide the cheese evenly onto the 2 slices of bread and pass them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• For serving, pour the Aïgo Boulido into each bowl and top with a slice of bread.

• Note: Serving Suggestions:.
• There's no getting around it. This garlic soup recipe has a strong flavor and it does tend to take hold in the body for a while. So better to eat this with your beloved -- that way you can smell garlicky together. Also, most people find that although it is delicious, facing this soup in leftovers the next day can be a bit daunting. So best to make what you can finish in one sitting.
• With its substantial topping you can serve this easy soup as a main course, although I'd recommend a first course of a salad or perhaps something even heavier for hearty appetites.
• You don't have to use smoked garlic from Arleux to make this garlic soup recipe, but do make sure that you use excellent quality garlic. Look for heads of garlic that have large cloves (that will save you considerable time in preparing the garlic). The cloves should be firm, not soft or shriveled up.
