Ingredients

• 15 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 2 pieces Fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 pieces Egg yolks
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced garlic to the saucepan and cook it gently, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, but not browned, for about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Add the bay leaf and thyme sprigs to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs from the soup.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender to puree.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and heavy cream.

Step 9

Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot soup into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs, then gradually stir the tempered mixture back into the soup.

Step 10

Reheat the soup gently over low heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 11

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
