4 egg yolks
6 cups undiluted beef bouillon (canned or home-made)
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 slices long Italian bread
Grated Parmesan cheese

In a small bowl, beat egg yolks with cream till blended.  Pour beef bouillon into medium saucepan and add cream mixture; heat slowly, stirring constantly, until soup just comes to a boil (do not boil).  Meanwhile, in the broiler, toast bread on both sides.  To serve, float 1 slice of toasted bread on each serving.  Pass Parmesan cheese.

This looks tasty.  I might get fancy and add a little meat to it... maybe oxtail or something similar.

You should've used a switch - a fresh-cut hickory switch.

Bitchslapped for making a mess.

I made this and it looks nothing like the picture. :mad:

If you want it to look like the picture, I would recommend a dark roux of unsalted butter and flour instead of the eggs and cream.  I'll try that next time.

Oh lawd.  I made this using clarified beef fat (tallow) to make a light roux instead of using the eggs and cream, and I browned some onions to go in the soup.  I used half a cup of roux (half a cup of flour + half a cup of fat).


I'm die.
