No reviews

A traditional Spanish garlic soup made with just a few pantry staples—garlic, bread, paprika, and broth—for a comforting, flavorful, rustic bowl.

Ingredients

Scale

68 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
2 cups day-old bread, torn into pieces
1 tsp smoked paprika
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
24 eggs (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: chopped parsley, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 2–3 minutes until golden.
  2. Stir in paprika and cook 10–15 seconds.
  3. Add bread pieces and toss to coat.
  4. Pour in broth and bring to a simmer. Cook 10 minutes until bread softens.
  5. Crack eggs into soup or drizzle in whisked egg. Cover and poach for 3–4 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Notes

Do not burn garlic or paprika. Use day-old bread for best texture. For a vegan version, skip the eggs and use vegetable broth.
