there's an italian recipe, tuscan i think, called "cooked water", which is similar.

I believe the Italian word for garlic is aglio, not Aïgo. Note also, the accent mark over the "i". While I know a little French, I'm not sure where the French name for this soup originates. "Aïgo Boulido" may be slang or a local term. It's a rather well-known Provençal recipe, sometimes (but rarely) referred to as garlic boullion, although, afaik, the French word for garlic is "ail"
