Here's something an bit more satisfying than hot chocolate on a cold and wintery evening, with some cheese and bread it will make a good supper too.
serves 4+
1/4 cup peeled, smashed and minced fresh garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of 1 lemon or lime
6 cups good broth
salt & pepper to taste
2 large eggs beaten
grated zest 1 lemon or lime
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Slowly saute the garlic in olive oil for 5 mins, allowing it to become golden but not brown.
Add the lime juice and broth, bring to boil then lower heat to simmer, allowing the garlic to flavor the broth.(15-20 mins)
Add seasonings to taste.
Add the lime zest to the beaten eggs and very slowly stir this into the soup.
increase the heat slightly but do not boil the soup, continue to cook for 5 mins.
Remove from heat and add the cilantro.
Serve in warmed mugs
variations:
add any very small chopped vegetables to this soup, or any leftovers (chopped small) from previous meals that day.
may also serve with grated cheese for extra creaminess.
Instead of cilantro try parsley
