Spanish Garlic Soup

Also called "Garlic Lovers' Soup". If you don't have any stale bread, this works just as well with croutons or toast cubes.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 4 -5  large garlic cloves, minced
• 4  cups chicken broth or 4  cups  chicken stock
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1  cup  stale  bread cubes
• 1  egg, beaten

Directions

1. In a soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat; saute the garlic until golden (but do not burn). Remove the pot from the heat and cool slightly. Then return the pot to low heat and slowly add the broth, salt, pepper, and bread cubes; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Remove 2 tablespoons of the soup to a small bowl and mix with the beaten egg. Add the egg mixture back to the soup and stir. Continue cooking until the soup starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
