First, we need to make our homemade garlic chili paste. In a food processor or blender, process the garlic with the olive oil, chili, and salt to get a thick paste.
Alternative method: If you have neither equipment, a good old-fashioned mortar and pestle will do. Ground the garlic, chili, and salt before adding the olive oil and mixing everything together to form a thick paste.
Now it’s time to melt the butter in a pot and stir in the garlic chili paste. Add the 3 cups of chicken broth. When it starts boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Whisk the eggs and gradually add to the soup, stirring vigorously to create the egg ‘ribbons.’
Allow the soup to simmer for 5-6 minutes until it reaches a velvety consistency.
Serve warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves and chopped spring onions. Or if you’re looking to add more fat and protein to your day, sprinkle some spicy pork rinds on top!
