      Title: Garlic Soup I
 Categories: Garlic, Soups
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      1    Garlic head;
           - peeled & smashed
      1 qt Chicken broth
      2 md Onions; peeled & sliced
           Whole cardamom pods
           Other herbs; if desired
      4    Eggs; separated
           Olive oil
           Butter
      1    Lime; juice of
 
  Melt 1 tb butter in a skillet. When it quits foaming, add 1 tb
  olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and saute until limp but not
  browned. Add herbs.
  
  Meanwhile, heat the chicken broth (the original poster here
  adamantly specifies no bouillon--for those of you who can remember
  back that far, this was the recipe that spawned the
  "Bouillon is Evil" thread).

  Toss in 10 to 20 cardamom pods. Add the sauteed garlic and onion.
  Use a little bit of broth to deglaze the skillet and add that to
  the broth. Simmer for 30 minutes. Remove onions and garlic and
  press through a strainer (I zapped them in the food processor) and
  return to broth.
  
  Whisk 1 tb olive oil into the yolks and whisk into the soup. You'll
  probably want to add a bit of the hot broth to the yolks first.
  Add the juice of the lime. Whisk a little bit of water into the
  egg whites. Just before serving, swirl the broth and add the
  whites quickly in a thin stream.
