1. Boil Chicken Broth with Sage
Begin by bringing your light chicken broth to a boil in a pot, adding a few fresh sage leaves. The boiling process releases the sage's aroma and flavor, creating a fragrant broth. Once the broth reaches a rolling boil, use a skimmer to remove the sage leaves.
2. Add Garlic and Salt
Next, add the sliced green garlic or sliced cloves to the broth along with a pinch of salt. Allow this to simmer for about five minutes.
3. Prepare Toasted Bread
Meanwhile, drizzle a little olive oil over a toasted slice of day-old bread. Place the bread in a bowl, ready to absorb the flavorsome broth.
4. Ladle Soup Over Bread
After the garlic has had time to work its magic, ladle the hot soup over the bread in your bowl.
5. Garnish with Parsley
Lastly, add a generous sprinkle of coarsely chopped parsley to the bowl.
Use the freshest herbs and organic garlic for the best flavor. Ensure dried herbs are not more than six months old.
Crush the cloves to release allicin without mincing them, for maximum flavor and health benefits.
Heat the water to just below boiling to avoid bitterness and loss of nuanced flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed before serving, to achieve the perfect balance.
Aim for at least 20-30 minutes of infusion at a lower temperature, covering to keep aromatic vapors in.
