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.
