Garlic Soup

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice 4 garlic cloves, and tear 45 g of stale rustic bread into rough 2 cm pieces. The bread must be genuinely dry, a day or two old, so it thickens the broth rather than turning to paste.
  2. Warm 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in a small earthenware cazuela or heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the sliced garlic and fry very gently for 3 minutes, stirring, until it is pale gold and fragrant. Do not let it brown or the soup will be bitter.
  3. Add the torn bread and turn it through the garlicky oil over low heat for 2 minutes, until the pieces are lightly toasted and glossy on all sides.
