Toasted Soup

Submitted by under12parsecs

"This recipe from Lidia's Italy sounds so easy and so satisfying. A garlicky broth-based soup with croutons. Yum."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
• 1 cup unbleached flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 cups chicken stock
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 1⁄2 cups croutons
• fresh ground pepper, to taste

directions

1. In a heavy saucepan, brown the garlic and flour in heated oil, stirring constantly over low heat, 3-5 minutes.
2. Add the chicken stock and mix well, scraping all the flour from the sides of the pan. Simmer 20 minutes, skimming occasionally. Pass the mixture through a sieve, discarding the garlic and any lumps of flour.
3. In a clean pan, bring the mixture to a boil and slowly add the beaten eggs, continuously beating with a fork during the process. Return to the boil, remove immediately from the heat, and serve with croutons and freshly ground pepper.

Rich, creamy and very delicious, I really enjoyed this soup! I made 1/4 of the recipe, using organic chicken stock and whole grain croutons. Yum! Made for Went To The Market tag game. Thanks under12parsecs! :)
