Castilian Garlic Soup - Sopa De Ajo - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (preferably Spanish)
    6 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
    2 tablespoons white wine
    1/2 tablespoon spanish sweet paprika
    3 ounces rustic white bread, crust removed and torn into small pieces
    1 quart chicken stock
    2 large eggs, beaten
    salt
    1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
Preparation
    Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
    Add the garlic and saute until golden brown, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until the alcohol evaporates, about 30 seconds. Add the Spanish sweet paprika and saute for 1 minute.
    Add the bread and pour in the chicken stock. Stir together and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes.
    Add the eggs and stir with a spatula to fold them into the soup. The eggs will form long strands, almost like noodles. Simmer for 2 minutes and add salt to taste. Sprinkle parsley and serve.
