Categories     soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 servings for one

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 head garlic, separated into cloves and peeled
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
4 parsley sprigs
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 eggs, as needed
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Crusty bread, optional

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the garlic, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, bay leaf, parsley sprigs and olive oil. Add 2 quarts of water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Pour through a fine-meshed strainer into a heatproof bowl, pressing on the garlic to squeeze out as much flavor into the broth as possible. Let cool and then transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until needed.
  • To prepare a serving for one, ladle about 1 1/3 cups of broth into a small saucepan. Place over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Carefully break an egg into the broth (do not break the yolk) and poach until the white is just set, about 1 1/2 minutes. (It will continue to cook off the heat.) Transfer the egg to a soup bowl and pour the broth gently over it. Garnish with parsley and cheese. If desired, serve with crusty bread.

This soup was absolutely delicious! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and it was still amazing. The poached eggs were the perfect addition and added a richness to the soup. I will definitely be making this again!
