Recipe - Chilled Black Olive Soup

1 cup Pitted ripe olives;
preferably imported
brine packed
3 cup Chicken broth
1 One half cup Minced onions
1 cl Garlic, minced
1 Egg
1 cup Light cream
1 teaspoon Thick bottled steak sauce
One fourth cup Dry sherry

Either slice the olives waferthin or chop them into bits in a food
processor. Place chicken stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Add onions and garlic. Simmer 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat, strain out
onion and garlic bits and discard (or save to add the pot when making a
batch of stock). Return soup to the pan and add olives. Beat egg in a bowl
and slowly add a cup of hot soup while continuing to beat, and taking care
not to curdle the egg. Pour soup/egg mixture into the soup. Add light
cream, steak sauce and sherry. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Serve chilled in chilled soup bowls.
