CUBAN GARLIC SOUP (SOPA DE AJO)
This is like the Cuban version of Chicken Noodle Soup - you eat it when you have a cold. Just like chicken noodle soup, it really does help from the steam and the warmth of the soup soothing your nasal passages and the nutrients in the soup. The egg in the soup adds protein, another important nutrient, in addition to adding the lovely, delicate shreds of cooked egg white so reminiscent of egg drop soup. Also just like chicken soup, it's wonderful even if you're NOT sick!

CASTILIAN GARLIC SOUP (SOPA DE AJO)
Garlic soup was a staple during hard times in Spain. Since then it has become a favorite dish in the finest restaurants. I love garlic so the more the better! You can actually let this soup simmer for hours if you want to.

SOPA DE AJO - CASTILIAN GARLIC SOUP
Sopa de ajo is a very old, peasant-style dish and is typical of the Castilla-Leon region , where the winters are cold and soups and stews are eaten daily. Castilla is the "land of bread" and it is bought fresh daily. However, a Spanish cook would never serve it stale, so this recipe is a good way to use any stale bread that is left over from yesterday's meals.
