About
Julia Child knew how to make a Garlic Soup and this recipe is so restorative and tasty. One of the more interesting things about this soup, traditionally called Aigo Bouido, is that it has a very creamy look and taste, but there is no dairy in it all. In fact, it is an herbal broth that is placed in a homemade mayonnaise. It is so tasty and a soup that is bound to make you feel good. A simple, elegant, classic French recipe.
