SponsoredFleurie Georges Duboeuf
The most favored of all the Beaujolais Cru, Fleurie enjoys a very floral bouquet with a refined, smooth taste. An elegant, beautifully made more-ish red with wild strawberry fruit and a fleshy texture.Buy this wine if you like: Light-bodied red with ripe fruit, perfect slightly chilled on a warm summer afternoon.
Description
I love garlic and it's better than Chicken Soup, as a "Feel Better" cure. Reminds me of my boyfriend who detests garlic's smell, but loves this soup.

Chef's Tips
To further thicken the soup, you can add 6oz of cream along with the egg yolks. Personally, I can live without the egg/cream options because I find that a potato thickens the consistency quite nicely.
