Recipe - Garlic Soup With Fusilli And Broccoli

7 cup Water
1 Bay leaf
1 teaspoon Salt; or to taste
6 Cloves garlic, minced or
put through press
One half teaspoon Dried thyme

OR
1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoon Olive oil
One fourth pound Fusilli; about 1One half cups *
1 pound Broccoli, broken into
florets
Freshly ground pepper to
taste
2 md Eggs
One fourth cup Freshly grated Parmesan or
Gruyere
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley; or 3T
Garlic croutons for
garnish; optional

1. Combine the water, bay leaf, and salt in a soup pot and bring to a
simmer. Add the garlic, thyme, and olive oil, cover, and simmer for 15
minutes. Add the fusilli and broccoli, turn up the heat slightly, and
continue to simmer, uncovered, until the fusilli is cooked al dente, about
10 minutes. Note: If you want the broccoli to be crisper, add it to the
soup five minutes after the fusilli. [I added broc about 3 min after
fusilli.] 2. Beat the eggs in a bowl and stir in the cheese and parsley.
Ladle some soup into the eggs and stir together. Turn off the heat under
the soup and stir the egg mixture into the soup pot. Stir for a minute and
serve, garnishing each bowl with croutons if desired. * White or
multicolored fusilli will be prettiest.
