Step-by-step Guide

Method

  • Fry the bread slices until well browned. Set aside.
  • Sweat the peeled, crushed garlic until it colours.
  • Add sweet paprika, the fried bread and the stock. Boil 20 minutes and blend. Season.
  • Serve with an egg in the middle (boiled, poached or a raw yolk).

Another way (Fundació Alícia)

  • Slice the garlic and brown it. Add crumbled dry bread and fry a little.
  • Water, boil 20 minutes. Break up the bread with a whisk. Garnish with a mash of almonds and hazelnuts.

To poach the egg

  • Lower the shelled eggs for 3–4 minutes into very hot (not boiling) water with a splash of vinegar, after stirring a whirlpool.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • If you want cooked eggs (boiled or poached), make them first and keep them in warm water. You can also put a raw yolk in so it mixes with the very hot soup.
