Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spanish Garlic Soup
  1. In a stockpot, heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add 8-10 thinly sliced garlic cloves and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and golden. Stir in 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika and cook for about 30 seconds. Add 4 ounces of torn stale bread and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Pour in 6-7 cups of chicken stock, stirring to help break down the bread. Bring to a strong simmer, cooking for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Stir slowly to create a gentle whirlpool and gradually pour in 4 whisked large eggs, allowing them to form ribbons for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning. If needed, thin it with more chicken stock. Season with fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately. Optionally garnish with olive oil, smoked paprika, or fresh parsley.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for best flavor and control the seasoning based on broth's saltiness. Store leftovers appropriately and reheat with care.
