FAQs
1. Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the soup up to the step of adding the egg yolks and Parmesan. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before adding the tempered egg mixture.
2. Can I freeze Country French Garlic Soup?
This soup can be frozen, but omit the egg yolks and Parmesan if you plan to freeze it. Add those ingredients fresh when reheating for the best texture and flavor.
3. How can I make the soup thicker?
For a thicker consistency, add a peeled and diced potato before simmering or a few tablespoons of heavy cream after blending.
4. Is there a substitute for Parmesan cheese?
Yes, Pecorino Romano or a non-dairy cheese works well as a substitute.
5. Can I use roasted garlic instead of raw?
Yes, roasted garlic adds a sweeter, mellower flavor. Simply roast the garlic in advance and add it with the broth.
