Garlic Soup with Poached Eggs

This aromatic garlic soup with poached eggs is a sophisticated yet simple high-protein dish that delivers deep, savoury flavours. By gently goldenly caramelising a whole head of garlic in olive oil, the broth gains a mellow sweetness that perfectly balances the subtle heat of dried red pepper flakes. It is a comforting and restorative meal, ideal for a light dinner or a nourishing weekend brunch when you want something a little more special than standard fare.

Served over crisp, olive oil-fried baguette slices, the poached eggs add a rich, velvety texture as the yolks break into the broth. The addition of fresh coriander and a bright squeeze of lime provides a zesty finish that lifts the earthy garlic notes. This recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious, protein-packed bowl that is both satisfying and incredibly easy to prepare from pantry staples.

Ingredients for Garlic Soup with Poached Eggs

  • 1 medium head of garlic, cloves peeled and thinly sliced

  • 45ml olive oil

  • 8 (1/2-inch-thick) baguette slices

  • 0.9L chicken stock or broth

  • 1/2 teaspoons dried hot red pepper flakes

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup packed small fresh coriander sprigs

How to make Garlic Soup with Poached Eggs

Cook garlic in oil in a deep 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender and pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer garlic to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add bread slices to skillet and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until browned, about 4 minutes. Divide toasts among 4 large soup bowls.

Add stock, red pepper flakes, and garlic to skillet and bring to a simmer.

Break 1 egg into a cup and slide egg into simmering stock. Repeat with remaining eggs. Poach eggs at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.

Transfer eggs with slotted spoon to toasts and season with salt. Ladle soup into bowls and top with coriander. Serve with lime wedges.
