- In a large saucepan, salt the water, add in the garlic cloves, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. After 10 min, add in the bay leaves, sage, and a dash of the oil. Cook 2 more min, then remove from heat, cover, and steep for 10 min.
- When ready to serve, heat a soup tureen in the oven for a few min, then layer the bottom with the bread slices and sprinkle with the cheese, then the rest of the oil. Ladle the strained broth over all and serve.
- Serve warm to 4 people in need.
- Comments: Reputedly an elixir for convalescents and birthing mothers - and a godsend for those with hangovers - this delicate soup is almost unexplainably comforting. It's very soft, and the fragrance of the herbed broth and fruity extra virgin olive oil helps the tender bread sop and cheese slip right down to comfort a tight stomach.
