1
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
2
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
3
Add Paprika
Stir in the smoked paprika and cook for another 30 seconds to release its flavors.
4
Incorporate Bread
Add the torn pieces of stale bread to the pot, stirring well to coat with the garlic and paprika mixture.
5
Pour in Broth
Carefully pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, and add salt and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
6
Simmer the Soup
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the bread breaks down and thickens the soup.
7
Add Eggs (Optional)
If using, crack the eggs directly into the simmering soup and allow them to poach for about 3-5 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
8
Garnish and Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
