Garlic Sage Soup (Printable Version)

A velvety garlic and sage soup mixed with homemade creamy mayo for a cozy bite that's perfect for cooler days.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2/3 cup of high-quality olive oil.
02 - A whole garlic bulb, peeled and sliced up.
03 - 8 cups of either chicken stock or broth.
04 - One large egg, use only the yolk (separate it from the white).
05 - Fresh sprigs of sage.
06 - A teaspoon of mustard, preferably Dijon.
07 - Season with as much salt as you prefer.

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Add garlic slices and sage into your pot of broth. Simmer gently for 10 minutes. Strain the solids if you’d like a smoother finish (optional).
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk the yolk with mustard and a pinch of salt. Gradually pour in the oil, whisking all the time, until it becomes creamy like mayo.
03 - Take the hot broth and slowly add it to your mayo mixture while constantly stirring. Pour everything back into the pot.
04 - Gently warm the blended soup over low heat. Don’t let it boil. Add toppings like crispy croutons or a drizzle of oil, and enjoy.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Keep your burner low once the egg mix is in to avoid it curdling.
02 - Serve with fresh, crunchy bread—it’s perfect for dunking!
03 - Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth to make it a vegetarian option.
