Creamy Garlic Soup with Olive Oil
Wonderfully nourishing—and seriously delicious! This creamy garlic soup could be the star of a romantic dinner, if only its main ingredient weren't something quite so "aromatic" as garlic. But since the dish turns out so beautiful you could paint a still life of it, you might serve it for a family celebration instead. Treat your husband on your wedding anniversary, or mark a grand reconciliation after a long quarrel. I'm sure you can find a reason to cook it easily enough. The soup takes a little fussing, so be ready for that.

- Finely chop the garlic (be sure to chop it—no garlic press!), then sauté it in oil in a saucepan. It's important not to let the garlic take on any color, so stir it constantly. You want it to end up soft and tender.
- Then pour the broth (or boiled water) into the pan, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and let it cook for another 15 minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat, strain the broth through a sieve, mash the garlic thoroughly into a purée, and stir it back into the broth.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the olive oil (or any vegetable oil) using a mixer until you get something like a "mayonnaise." Gently drizzle it into the broth in a thin stream while stirring. Set the broth over low heat to warm through, but don't let it boil.
- Cut the white bread into slices and toast them. A toaster, skillet, or oven all work fine.
- Place the toasted bread in each bowl so it doesn't disturb the soup's texture, then ladle in the creamy soup. Despite how involved it seems, this recipe is easy to get the hang of.
