GARLIC SOUP
This recipe came from a coworker who won "Best Main Dish" at our company christmas pot-luck luncheon.

3 tablespoons butter
4 or more large cloves garlic
3 tablespoons flour
2 cans 10 3/4 oz condensed chicken broth
2 cups half and half
salt to taste
dash of paprika
1 egg
parsley

In a 2 or 3 qt pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add Garlic and cook, stirring, until soft but not browned about 2 minutes. Stir in flour nad cook until bubbly about 1 minute. Gradually stir in broth and bring to a boil, stirring often.

Stir in half-and-half and paprika until steaming, DO NOT BOIL. Season to taste with salt. In a small bowl, beat egg lightly stir a small amount of the hot soup into egg. Regurn egg mixture to pan, stirring constantly. Heat to steaming. Immediately ladle soup into bowls and garnish with parsley.

NOTES: You can use regular chicken broth and add 2 or 3 chicken bullion cubes. For thicker richer soup, use heavy cream or heavy cream AND half-and-half. you could also use more garlic.
