Ingredients

  • /2 cup crushed garlic
  • tablespoons butter
  • cups water
  • tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
  • /4 cup chopped fresh tomato
  • eggs, beaten
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once it’s sizzling, add the crushed garlic and let it cook until golden and fragrant—this step unlocks all that rich, nutty flavor. I like to keep an eye on it so the garlic doesn’t burn, as that would add a bitter note. Next, pour in the water and bring everything to a rolling boil. Stir in the chicken bouillon granules until they dissolve completely, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Let the soup bubble away for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld

  2. Step 2

    the longer, the better. Just before serving, toss in the chopped fresh tomato for a pop of color and freshness. Now, whisk the beaten eggs in a thin stream while stirring the soup constantly—they’ll create delicate ribbons that add body and protein. Season with salt and pepper to your taste, and it’s ready to ladle into bowls. For a smoother finish, you can strain it, but I enjoy the rustic texture.

Chef's Tip

One trick I’ve learned: for an even deeper garlic flavor without the bite, roast the garlic beforehand. Simply drizzle a whole head with olive oil and bake at 400°F until soft, then squeeze out the cloves and use them in place of crushed raw garlic.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if it thickens.

Variation Tips

For a vegetarian twist, use vegetable bouillon; for extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream at the end. This soup pairs beautifully with a side salad or some keto bread for a heartier meal.
