I continued the tradition when I became an adult but I substituted Julia Child's recipe (she adds a homemade mayonnaise at the end of cooking) to which I've made a few adjustments over the years. I still use one head of garlic in the soup pot but I also roast another head and add that to the broth, as well. Served with a nice crusty warm bread and a hearty salad such as nicoise.
