Spanish Garlic Soup

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°

Step 2

Toss bread cubes with olive oil, paprika, and salt. Spread out in single layer on baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 15 minutes or until browned. Allow to cool and set aside. (If you have extra they will keep well in a sealed container for up to 1 week)

Step 4

In a large pot over medium-low heat, add olive oil and garlic. Slowly simmer garlic until fragrant - but not brown- for 3 minutes. Add salt and wine, cook to burn off alcohol for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add paprika, stir well to combine. The aroma will be intoxicating.

Step 6

Add chicken stock (or vegetable or even water will work) bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl whisk 2 eggs, slowly drizzle the eggs into the soup and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve immediately, piping hot, with a few croutons on top.
