CHEF JOHN'S SPANISH GARLIC SOUP (SOPA DE AJO)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread French bread onto the prepared baking sheet and drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top; gently stir to coat bread.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until just golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add ham; cook and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of paprika and cook for 1 minute more. Pour bread into pot and toss to coat with hot oil mixture.
• Pour chicken broth into bread mixture; add cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and stir in parsley.
• Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup. Make 4 depressions in the bread on top of the soup with a spoon. Slowly pour an egg into each depression. Cover the pot with a lid and cook until egg whites are firm and yolks are thick but not hard, 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls and spoon an egg on top.

GARLIC SOUP, SPANISH-STYLE, WITH EGG

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add garlic and saute over medium heat until the garlic is barely golden. Remove the garlic from the pan, draining as much oil as possible back into the pan.
• Saute the bread slices in the oil remaining in the pan until the bread is golden brown. Remove the croutons from the pan.
• Add the sweet and hot peppers and saute over low heat until the sweet peppers are tender. Stir in the stock and return the garlic to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt if necessary.
• Just before serving, warm each of four soup plates, then place a crouton in each plate. Carefully break an egg on top of each crouton then ladle the simmering soup over the egg and crouton. Sprinkle with parsley and serve at once.

TOMATO AND GARLIC BREAD SOUP

Steps:

• GARLIC BREAD CROUTONS:.
• Preheat oven to 300ºF. In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup olive oil and 3 minced garlic cloves. Add bread pieces and toss to coat. On a large baking sheet, arrange coated bread in a single layer. Bake in preheated oven until golden (approximately 20 minutes), stirring once. Set baked croutons aside.
• TOMATO SOUP (can be started while croutons are baking):
• In a large heavy-duty pot, heat 2 tbs. olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for approximately 25 minutes, or until very tender. Add remaining six minced garlic cloves and cook for one minute. Add chicken stock, crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan. Simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper.
• Add garlic bread croutons to soup and cook for one minute more. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish each serving with basil slices and Parmesan shavings.

GARLIC SOUP WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Cook garlic in oil in a deep 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender and pale golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer garlic to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add bread slices to skillet and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until browned, about 4 minutes. Divide toasts among 4 large soup bowls.
• Add stock, red pepper flakes, and garlic to skillet and bring to a simmer.
• Break 1 egg into a cup and slide egg into simmering stock. Repeat with remaining eggs. Poach eggs at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer eggs with slotted spoon to toasts and season with salt. Ladle soup into bowls and top with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

• Add the garlic, and fry it, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 2 to 3 minutes, until it is golden.

• Add the bread, and turn it several times so that it absorbs the oil.
• Sprinkle it with the paprika, and toss well.
• Add the water or broth, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring, until the soup is heated through and well blended and the bread has absorbed much of the liquid.
• Season to taste with salt and, if you like, the pepper flakes.
• Just before serving the soup, crack the eggs, and slide them onto the surface of the soup, taking care not to break the yolks.
• Let the eggs cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until they are set.
• Serve the soup by spooning it gently into shallow bowls, allowing 1 egg per serving.

GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Bring 6 1/2 cups water to a boil in a 3- or 4-quart saucepan. Add minced garlic, salt, bay leaf and thyme. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. Remove bay leaf, and fresh thyme sprigs, if using. (Dried thyme will be difficult to remove.)
• Add pasta to pot. Stir, cover and simmer until al dente, about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on pasta type. Stir from time to time so that pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Add peas and simmer 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub toasted bread slices with cut garlic clove and place 2 pieces in each bowl.
• Beat together eggs and olive oil. Temper the egg: Spoon 2 ladlefuls of the hot soup into eggs and stir together.
• Turn off heat under soup and slowly stir in tempered egg mixture. Add pepper and parsley. Ladle soup into bowls over bread, sprinkle cheese over the top and serve.
