Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 heads new-crop garlic, if available, about 16 medium cloves
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
12 sage leaves
Salt
pepper
4 to 6 eggs
4 to 6 slices day-old French bread, lightly toasted
Chopped parsley, scallions or chives for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel and slice or roughly chop the garlic cloves. Warm the oil in a heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and sage and let them sizzle a bit without browning, about 2 minutes. Season with about a teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to a brisk simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust.
  • Ladle about an inch of soup into a skillet. Over medium heat, bring to a brisk simmer and, for each serving, poach an egg for about 3 minutes.
  • For each serving, place a slice of toast in a soup bowl. With a slotted spoon lift a poached egg onto each piece. Ladle the soup over it. Sprinkle with a little parsley, scallion, or chive.

I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was a disappointment. It was bland and the poached egg was rubbery. I won't be making this recipe again.

This is my new favorite garlic soup recipe! It's so easy to make and the flavors are incredible. I highly recommend it.

This was a bit too garlicky for my taste, but overall it was a good soup. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not really a fan of garlic soup, but this recipe was pretty good. The poached egg definitely added something special.

This was okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste, and the poached egg was a little overcooked. I think I would prefer a different garlic soup recipe next time.

This is a great soup! It's hearty and flavorful, and the poached egg is a nice touch. I also like that it's relatively easy to make.

This soup was a delight! The flavors were rich and complex, and the poached egg added a lovely creaminess. I especially enjoyed the garlicky croutons.
