Instead of dill & mint I use finely chopped fresh parsley (about two tablespoons). <br /> And I've never seen this recipe with garic before... Might be interesting.<br /> <br /> I only use 2 eggs and 1 1/2 lemon in the sauce otherwise the taste is a bit too sharp. But that depends on the individual tastes. <br /> <br /> Also, make sure the broth you use for the lemon and egg sauce has been taken earlier and left in a separate bowl to cool down a bit before you add it in the sauce -otherwise the white of the egg will cook and you'll have small white pieces in the soup instead of a nice smooth sauce.<br /> <br /> I also add 1 potato, 1 carot and 1 zuccini, all in small cubes. It makes the soup thicker and gives a really nice taste.<br /> <br /> Serve with a lot of black pepper.

Yum, sounds great. Maybe use home make stock instead of water to boost the flavor a little. Will definitely give this a try!
