Tips for Garlic Egg Soup

  • Like all stews, garlic soup improves its flavor with rest. Prepare it the day before and add the bread gratin and the egg at the last minute.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute the beef stock for chicken stock or vegetable stock.
  • Instead of adding the egg to the sauce, poach it and add it when serving.
