GARLIC LOVERS' SOUP WITH CHEESE AND WHITE WINE: BILLOMOISE

Steps:

• Place the unpeeled garlic cloves in a mortar and crush them with a pestle, or put them in a small plastic bag and pound them with a rolling pin. Put the garlic, skins and all, in a heavy 4-quart soup pot and add the onion, water, salt, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, partially cover, and simmer slowly for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• While the garlic simmers, place the croutes on baking sheet and sprinkle with the grated Cantal cheese. Reserve. Place 6 soup plates in the oven to heat.
• Put the butter in a bowl and mash with a wooden spoon until it is a soft paste. Add the flour and egg yolks and combine thoroughly.
• At the end of the garlic cooking time, strain the garlic broth through a fine-mesh sieve and return it to the pot. Slowly, a few tablespoons at a time, add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the hot broth to the butter-egg mixture, whisking to combine thoroughly. Off the heat, put the egg-broth mixture into the pot, stirring until the soup is creamy and thoroughly blended.
• Remove the soup plates from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. When the oven is fully preheated, place the baking sheet with the cheese-covered croutes, in the oven for a few moments to melt the cheese.
• Add the white wine to taste to the soup and place over low heat, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the soup to boil. Taste and add more salt if needed.
• When thoroughly heated, remove the soup from the heat. Place the cheese-glazed croutes in the bottom of the heated soup plates and top with the hot soup. Serve immediately.
