This recipe from Lidia's Italy sounds so easy and so satisfying. A garlicky broth-based soup with croutons. Yum. Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves, lightly crushed |
1 cup unbleached flour |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
8 cups chicken stock |
4 eggs, beaten |
1 1/2 cups croutons |
fresh ground pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, brown the garlic and flour in heated oil, stirring constantly over low heat, 3-5 minutes.
2. Add the chicken stock and mix well, scraping all the flour from the sides of the pan. Simmer 20 minutes, skimming occasionally. Pass the mixture through a sieve, discarding the garlic and any lumps of flour.
3. In a clean pan, bring the mixture to a boil and slowly add the beaten eggs, continuously beating with a fork during the process. Return to the boil, remove immediately from the heat, and serve with croutons and freshly ground pepper.
