Instructions
Bread
In 1 tbsp oil, briefly toast bread until golden (pan or oven at 180°C, 6-8 min). Set aside.
Garlic base
In a pot, heat 2 tbsp oil, add garlic slices, and sauté over low heat for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned (do not burn). Add paprika, quickly stir (just a few seconds).
Adding liquid
Immediately pour in broth, season, add wine/sherry (if using). Bring to a boil and simmer.
Bread into soup
Add toasted bread, simmer for 6-8 minutes until soup thickens and bread softens. Adjust seasoning with soy sauce and spices.
Eggs
Create small whirlpools in the gently simmering soup using a spoon, and crack eggs into them one by one. Poach for 2-3 minutes according to preference (yolk can remain runny).
Serving
Pour into bowls, top each portion with an egg. Sprinkle with herbs and serve immediately.
Tip
Tip: If you want a "heartier" version, briefly sauté a few cubes of bacon or chorizo with garlic at the beginning. For a light, vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and add a pinch of cumin.
