Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large stockpot, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 6-8 cloves of thinly sliced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Stir in 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, followed by 3-4 cups of cubed stale bread, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until slightly toasted.
  2. Pour in 6 cups of chicken stock or vegetable broth, stirring gently. Increase the heat slightly and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Whisk 3 large eggs in a bowl until smooth. Stir the soup vigorously and slowly drizzle in the eggs, stirring gently to form silky ribbons.

  5. Ladle the soup into bowls while hot. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika or fresh parsley if desired.
