Czech garlic soup is prepared with a small number of ingredients, yet it turns out very tasty, hearty, and aromatic.
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients for the Czech garlic soup.
Wash the meat, place it in a pot, pour in 1.5 liters of cold water, and put it on the stove. When the water boils, skim off all the foam, add the bay leaf, and simmer the meat until cooked over low heat with the lid on, preventing active boiling of the broth.
Peel and dice the potatoes.
Peel and dice the onion; peel the garlic.
Prepare croutons for serving the soup. Cut the bread into small pieces, spread them on a dry frying pan, and fry for 4-5 minutes.
Sauté the onion until lightly golden. Season with salt and pepper.
Press the garlic through a press and sauté it with the onion (for no more than 1 minute) until a characteristic bright garlic aroma appears.
Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk with a fork.
Add the potatoes to the pot.
Pour in the strained broth. Cut the meat into pieces and also add it to the pot. Cook the soup until the potatoes are tender, season with salt. You can add spices to your taste.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic to the soup.
Slowly pour in the beaten egg in a thin stream. The egg will immediately curdle, forming thin strands. Add finely chopped parsley, bring to a boil, and remove from heat.
The thick and rich Czech garlic soup is ready. Serve with croutons. Enjoy your meal.
