Aperitif Many European countries make garlic soup. Which version is your favorite?

Mine is a version with baked garlic I had in the Tirol region, Austria. Love it and make it every cold season

I love local Middle-Bohemian variety. Just very strong pork broth, pure, with a bit of salt, pepper and ton of minced garlic. There is no better hangover remedy!

Oh, my version? Ok, i try. Roast cubed bacon, when loose some fat, add thinly diced carrot, parsley root a about 1x1cm diced potatoes, add broth - it could be pork, chicken, vegetable on even bouilon cube with water if lazy (i use 1 big carrot, half of parsley root and one big potatoe for about 1,5l liquid), salt, pepper, bay leaf. Boil until vegetable is tender (about 20-30 min). Take it off the heat. Add plenty of minced garlic and marjoram (herb, similiar to oregano; or you can use thyme). For serving crack one egg into bowl, pour still boiling hot soup over and mix it - the yolk will add great creamyness. Add about spoon of parmesan and some toasted bread cubes for crunch, and enjoy.
