Istruzioni

Sauté Garlic and Onion

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic cloves and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden but not browned. Add onion, cooking until soft, about 5 minutes.

Simmer the Soup

Add broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 20-25 minutes until garlic is soft. Discard bay leaf.

Blend the Soup

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully blend in batches.

Thicken with Egg Yolks and Parmesan

Whisk egg yolks and Parmesan in a bowl. Slowly add a ladle of hot soup to the mixture while whisking, then pour it back into the pot, stirring constantly. Heat on low to thicken, without boiling.

Serve

Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with bread cubes and parsley.
