Directions
-
Combine turkey broth, sage leaves, and peeled garlic cloves in a medium saucepan.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the garlic is tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the instant couscous. Let it sit for 2 minutes to swell and absorb some liquid.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated cheese until well combined.
-
Slowly drizzle the egg and cheese mixture into the hot broth while stirring constantly to create a creamy consistency.
-
Return the pan to low heat and warm gently until the soup is heated through but not boiling, to prevent curdling.
-
Serve immediately while hot.

Note
Do not let the soup boil after adding the eggs, or the eggs will scramble and turn into threads rather than thickening the broth.
For a richer flavor, you can use low-sodium turkey broth and add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the garlic and sage briefly before adding them to the broth, or remove the sage leaves before serving.
Asiago cheese can be substituted with Parmesan for a sharper taste, or Nutritional Yeast for a vegan option (though eggs are used here).
