Ingredients:





     1    Head garlic, peeled and


          -smashed


     1 qt Chicken broth


     2 md Onions, peeled and sliced


          Whole cardomom pods


          Some other herbs, if


          -desired


     4    Eggs separated


          Olive oil


          Butter


          Juice of one lime






 Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet.  When it quits foaming, add 1


 tablespoon of olive oil.  Add the garlic and onion and saute until limp but


 not browned.  Add herbs.


 


 Meanwhile, heat the chicken broth (the original poster here adamantly


 specifies no bouillon -- for those of you who can remember back that far,


 this was the recipe that spawned the "Bouillon is Evil" thread). Toss in


 10-20 cadomom pods.  Add the sauteed garlic and onion.  Use a little bit of


 broth to deglaze the skillet and add that to the broth. Simmer for half an


 hour.  Remove onions and garlic and press through a strainer (I zapped them


 in the food processor) and return to broth.


 


 Whisk a tablespoon of olive oil into the yolks and whisk into the soup


 (you'll probably want to add a bit of the hot broth to the yolks first).


 Add the juice of the lime.  Whisk a little bit of water into the egg


 whites.  Just before serving, swirl the broth and add the whites quickly in


 a thin stream.
