Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices stale bread (you can toast the bread if not stale), cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 liter chicken broth or vegetable broth homemade is best or store bought (low sodium)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (at least ½ teaspoon pepper)

Instructions
 

  • Peel the garlic and cut into slices.
  • Pour olive oil into a pot (enough to just cover the bottom) and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add in the garlic and fry until it begins to brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the bread to the pot so that they are fried with the garlic and become soaked in the oil.
  • Turn the heat to low and add the paprika. Pour in the broth and stir.
  • Bring the soup to a low boil and then cook on a low simmer for about 25 minutes. It is ready when the bread is soft and the soup has a rich brown color.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste adding at least ½ teaspoon pepper.
  • Remove soup from the heat and immediately crack the eggs inside so that they are cooked with the residual heat. Stir the eggs into the soup. Eat warm.
