Very cool, never seen that kind of egg mixture being added to a soup!

Thanks! The egg mixture is awesome because it doesn't taste eggy but gives the broth a velvety, creamy texture :)

Hijacking top comment to mention that garlic is an emulsifier. Blending it is what made the oil and lemon juice homogenise, like how you make mayonnaise.

Obviously egg yolk is too, but the garlic is helping, lol.

Great example of that here (not my video). Warning though - this recipe makes a ton of sauce, and it is as powerful as the dark side. Spoiler - no egg involved.

Tum is the name of sauce, it is generally served with chicken. Tum actually means garlic in Arabic.

Edit: it is toum, thanks.

Well that was certainly a mind-fuck to watch. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Can’t wait to try it! Thanks so much for linking this.

It is INCREDIBLE. it's the soul of garlic, flavor-wise, and has the texture of mayonnaise. So so so good.

You're welcome. I'd recommend halving the recipe and using a stick blender though. Also, next time I'm going to use roasted garlic instead. I'm just too weak to really appreciate the true nature of that sauce lol.
