Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups water
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
1 head garlic, cloves separated, peeled, and thinly sliced
1/4 lb feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt, beaten
2 eggs
1 -2 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
4 slices crusty bread, cut into cubes and toasted or 1 cup crouton

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, saute the garlic over medium heat for several minutes. Add the 3 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt and pepper to taste, reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to very low, add the feta cheese and yogurt, and stir for several minutes until well combined. Do not allow the soup to boil. Remove from heat, and add lemon juice, if using.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Gradually whisk the eggs into the soup. Taste and adjust the seasonings, and then ladle into the bowls. Serve with croutons.

This soup is bland and flavourless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have any taste. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This soup is good, but not great. The roasted garlic flavour is a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the garlic had been sautéed instead.

I've never been a fan of garlic soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The roasted garlic gives it a lovely sweetness, and the lemon and herbs brighten it up perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
