Spanish garlic soup
Description
Perfect for lunch. I found the recipe for Spanish garlic soup in a book about Mediterranean cuisine. I was won over by the idea that you can make soup out of almost nothing—there are very few ingredients. If you enjoy Spanish-style dishes, this recipe is for you. To prepare Spanish garlic soup, follow these steps: 1. Bring water to a boil with bay leaves and 2 teaspoons of salt. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and continue simmering over low heat. 2. Heat oil in another pot over medium heat. Add garlic and lightly sauté (but do not let it turn brown). Add bread cubes. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, for another 2–3 minutes over medium heat. Add paprika and stir. 3. Pour in the boiling water and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Add salt to taste. Remove the bay leaf. 4. Whisk the eggs thoroughly with a whisk. With one hand, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin stream, while with the other hand, stir the soup vigorously to prevent the eggs from curdling. As soon as all the eggs are incorporated, remove the soup from heat and serve immediately. Ready.
