5 from 81 reviews

Country French Garlic Soup is a hearty and comforting traditional soup featuring a savory blend of simmered garlic and onions in a flavorful broth, enriched with gently cooked eggs, and served over rustic bread for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 slices country-style bread, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic and onion: Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the onion to ensure they release their flavors evenly during cooking.
  2. Simmer in broth: In a large pot, combine the minced garlic and chopped onion with the broth. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes until the flavors meld together and the garlic is tender.
  3. Add the eggs: Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently to create soft egg ribbons throughout the broth.
  4. Prepare the bread: Toast the slices of country-style bread until golden and crisp to provide a firm base for the soup.
  5. Serve: Place the toasted bread slices into individual serving bowls and ladle the hot garlic and egg soup over the bread. Serve immediately to enjoy the bread softened by the flavorful broth.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor and aroma.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To enhance the soup, garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.
  • Be careful when adding eggs to prevent them from clumping; stir gently to create delicate ribbons.
  • Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
