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.
