This soup is for garlic lovers, but the flavor isn't overwhelming, so really anyone would love it! Excellent served with some crusty bread on a cold autumn night. Instead of crotons, this is really good with some cheese toasts, too.

How To Make irish garlic soup

    Peel the garlic cloves and either finely mince them or put them through a garlic press. Place the garlic, onions, olive oil and butter in a large heavy saucepan, and cook until soft over medium-low heat. Don't let the veggies brown.

    Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Again, don't let it brown. Add the vinegar, water and chicken broth. Stir until well combined and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  • 3
    Right before serving, lightly beat the egg yolks, then whisk them into the simmering broth.

    To serve, place some croutons in each soup bowl, then ladle the soup into each bowl. For a bit of color, you can optionally sprinkle some finely minced parsley over each serving.
