Winter Soup with Garlic and Sage

6 servings

60 minutes

Winter soup with garlic and sage is a fragrant and warming dish, perfect for cold days. Its roots lie in Russian culinary traditions, where garlic and sage were often used to boost immunity. The thick, rich flavor of garlic enriched with spicy sage creates a cozy feeling of warmth and comfort. Delicate poached eggs added at the end make the soup's texture soft and velvety, while crispy whole grain toast complements the composition with an interesting contrast. This dish is ideal for a quiet winter evening when you want to enjoy something simple yet surprisingly delicious.
