Ingredients:


1/2 cup peeled cloves garlic

2 teaspoons butter

4 teaspoons olive oil

4 cups chicken bouillon

3 large egg yolks

1 teaspoon fresh parsley (garnish)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1 dash nutmeg

6 slices thick French bread
 

Preparation / Directions:


Peel the cloves, and, in a 2 qt. sauce pan, saute the garlic for about 15 minutes over low heat in the butter and 1 Tb. of olive oil, turning often so as to avoid browning. Pour in chicken stock and raise the heat to bring it to a boil. Cover the pan loosely and lower the heat. Simmer about 20 minutes. In a small bowl beat the egg yolks until they thicken. Add the oil while beating until you get a thick mayonnaise. Stir a couple teaspoons of soup into the mayonnaise, and then add the soup-mayo mixture to the soup, stirring all the while. Heat until not quite boiling. Now pour the soup through a sieve into heated tureen. Mash the garlic through the sieve, perhaps saving a few cloves to put in whole. Add the salt, cayenne and nutmeg. Stir until completely blended. Serve over the bread, garnished with parsley.
