How to make fantastic spanish style garlic soup

Pick out a head of garlic - or more - if like me you are mad about the taste

Slice the garlic finely, and fry. Boil a pan of water. Quantities depend on how many you are cooking for. I just fill up a big pan. Add water and stock cubes (2) and a little salt. Add fried garlic.

Slice up old stale bread and flash fry.

Add tin if tuna, and a good teaspoon or two of paprika. (Scrap the tuna if you are going for the veggie option)

Boil gently for 15-20 mins.

Just before serving, break an egg and add whole. 1 egg per person. Leave for 4 mins.

Serve in a bowl or mug. Yummy. Tastes even better the following day.

Like all good Spanish recipes, they use seasonal and cheap ingredients. This garlic soup is a very old recipe but still in use in restaurants everywhere. You can find it written as: Sopa de Ajo
