Irish Garlic Soup image

This soup is for garlic lovers, but the flavor isn't overwhelming, so really anyone would love it! Excellent served with some crusty bread on a cold autumn night. Instead of crotons, this is really good with some cheese toasts, too.

Number Of Ingredients 9

12-15 clove(s) garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
2 tablespoon(s) flour
1 tablespoon(s) white vinegar
4 cup(s) water
4 cup(s) chicken broth
2 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Peel the garlic cloves and either finely mince them or put them through a garlic press. Place the garlic, onions, olive oil and butter in a large heavy saucepan, and cook until soft over medium-low heat. Don't let the veggies brown.
  • Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Again, don't let it brown. Add the vinegar, water and chicken broth. Stir until well combined and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  • Right before serving, lightly beat the egg yolks, then whisk them into the simmering broth.
  • To serve, place some croutons in each soup bowl, then ladle the soup into each bowl. For a bit of color, you can optionally sprinkle some finely minced parsley over each serving.
