Annotated Cooking Notes: I really mean it, this is a goto soup to give anyone who is sick. Garlic has so many healing properties.

2 quarts of water

16 cloves of garlic, Unpeeled

2 teaspoons Salt

½ teaspoons Pepper

2  Cloves

2 leaves Sage

2 sprigs of thyme

1  Bay Leaf

4 sprigs Parsley

3  Egg Yolks

¼ cups Olive Oil (not Extra Virgin)

1. Bring water to a boil. Add garlic for 30 seconds. Remove garlic and run under cold water. Peel.

2. Add all ingredients except egg yolks and olive oil to pot. Bring to a light boil for 30 minutes.

3. While water is boiling, add egg yolks to a large bowl that will eventually hold soup. Whisk. Slowly add olive oil to the bowl, a few drops at a time, and vigorously whisk (or use a mixer) until it becomes mayonnaise.

4. After the soup has boiled for 30 minutes, add one ladleful into the mayonnaise and mix. Using a strainer, strain the broth into the bowl. Feel free to press and squeeze the garlic a bit to release some extra flavor.

5. Ladle into serving bowl. Garnish with garlic or cheese toast, crispy French bread, and Parmesan cheese.

6. Serve with a toasted French bread or croutons.
