Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 heads Garlic Slice thinly for optimal flavor release and caramelization.
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil Helps to soften and release garlic's flavor; substitute with butter for a richer twist.
  • 6 cups Broth Chicken or vegetable; using homemade stock will enhance the flavor.
For the Creaminess
  • 3 large Eggs Acts as a thickening agent; ensure they are at room temperature to prevent scrambling.
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese Adds savory depth; Pecorino Romano makes a great substitute.
For the Finishing Touch
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley Provides freshness and color; chives can be used as a milder alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme Adds an authentic herbal flavor; dried thyme can be a quick substitute (use 1/3 the amount).

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • medium bowl

Steps to Prepare
  1. Peel and thinly slice the garlic to promote optimal flavor release during cooking.

  7. Stir in the fresh herbs, taste for any adjustments, and serve hot with crusty bread.
