Garlic Southern Soup (Printable Version)
A smooth Southern-style dish blending garlic and herbs in chicken broth, thickened with mayo for a creamy finish.
# What You’ll Need:
01 -
⅔ cup olive oil.
02 -
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.

Pinch of salt.
04 -
1 large egg, separated.

1 big head of garlic.

64 ounces of chicken broth.
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
While working on the garlic, heat up the sage and chicken broth in a stock pot.

After peeling the garlic, split the cloves and take out the cores. Boil briefly, then drain and mash until smooth.
03 -
Stir the mashed garlic into the stock, then let it simmer softly for 10 minutes.

Using a hand blender, mix the oil, yolk, mustard, and salt until creamy. Add the white if it needs to thicken more.

Don't let it boil once the mayonnaise is added.
