Garlic Soup - Julia Child's Aigo Bouido Recipe

Bring water to a simmer in a pot over medium heat.

Peel and crush the garlic cloves, then add them to the simmering water.

Simmer the garlic for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavor.

Remove the pot from heat and strain the garlic from the water.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until smooth.

Gradually add the warm garlic-infused water to the egg mixture, whisking continuously.

Return the mixture to the pot over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in olive oil until fully incorporated.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
