Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the peeled garlic cloves to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Pour in the broth and add the thyme and bay leaves. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant.

Step 4

Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves, and season the soup with salt and pepper.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and Parmesan cheese together.

Step 6

Gradually whisk a ladle of hot soup into the egg mixture to temper it, then slowly whisk the tempered mixture back into the soup.

Step 7

Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously until the soup thickens slightly.
