JUAN'S GARLIC AND CACTUS SOUP

Juan's Garlic and Cactus Soup image

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 cloves garlic (large), very thinly sliced
4 cups chicken stock or canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup canned beef broth
1/2 cup beer, any kind
1 cup rinsed water-packed jarred cactus strips (nopalitos)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 large eggs

Steps:

1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat and cook the garlic, stirring, until fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients except the eggs. Raise the heat and bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer until the garlic is soft, 8 to 10 minutes. 2. In a small bowl beat the eggs until frothy. Bring soup to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir the soup briskly with a fork while pouring the eggs into the soup. Cook 1 minute. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
