This rustic recipe combines savory garlic, rich chicken gravy, and perfectly poached eggs, all served with crispy slices of baguette. It's easy to make and sure to impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Chop the coriander leaves.
- Cut the lime into wedges.
- Toast the baguette slices until they are golden brown on both sides.
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned.
- Pour 4 cups of chicken broth into the pot with the garlic. Increase the heat to high and bring the broth to a boil.
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper to the boiling broth. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer while you prepare the eggs.
- In a separate medium-sized pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to the water (optional, to help the eggs hold their shape).
- Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide each egg in, one at a time.
- Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and set them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Ladle the garlic-infused chicken broth into bowls.
- Place a poached egg into each bowl of soup.
- Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves over the top of each soup bowl.
- Serve the soup hot with the toasted baguette slices on the side.
- Garnish with lime wedges for squeezing over the soup according to taste.
Tips:
- For a more intense garlic flavor, you can use two cloves of garlic instead of one.
- Ensure the chicken gravy is hot but not boiling when poaching the eggs to maintain a smooth texture.
- Remember to toast the baguette slices to add a delightful crunch to your meal.
- You can garnish the soup with additional herbs, such as parsley or chives, for extra flavor and a pop of color.
- To make the poached eggs easier to handle, crack them into individual small bowls before adding them to the soup.
