340 g (3/4 lb) shallots, peeled and quartered (2 cups)

30 ml (2 tbsp) butter

1 litre (4 cups) chicken broth

125 ml (1/2 cup) heavy cream

3 egg yolks

In a pot over medium heat, soften the shallots in the butter. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes or until the shallots are tender.

In a blender, purée the soup until smooth and return to the saucepan.

In a bowl, combine the cream and egg yolks. Drizzle in the warm soup while stirring.

Heat gently, stirring with a wooden spoon without boiling, until the soup thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. If you have to reheat the soup, do it without boiling.
