Aigo Bouido (Garlic Soup)

Ingredients

Directions

Drop garlic cloves in boiling water and boil for 30 seconds.

Drain, run cold water over them and peel.

Place the garlic and the rest of the ingredients in a 3-quart saucepan and boil slowly for 30 minutes.

Correct seasoning.

Beat 3 egg yolks with a wire whip in a soup tureen for a minute or until they are thick and sticky.

Drop by drop beat in olive oil for making a mayonnaise.

Just before serving, beat a ladleful of hot soup into the egg mixture by droplets.

Gradually strain in the rest, beating and pressing the juice out of the garlic.

Serve immediately, accompanied by rounds of hard-toasted French bread topped with 1 cup of grated Swiss or Parmesan cheese.
