This is the basis of the numerous variations of a [[Spanish]] hot [[Garlic|garlic]] [[Soup|soup]]. It is delicious as a winter warmer and helps to fight off colds and flu'. In southern Spain it is sometimes described as Ajo Blanco, not to be confused with cold [[Ajo Blanco Malagueño|ajo blanco Malagueño]].

{{RecipeIngredients
| 3 tablespoons [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 4 bulbs [[Garlic|garlic]], peeled and either left whole, or sliced
| 2 teaspoons [[Smoked|smoked]] sweet [[Paprika|paprika]]
| 1½ [[Litres|litres]] [[Vegetable stock|vegetable stock]]
| 8 slices of French [[Bread|bread]]
| A few small sprigs of [[Thyme|thyme]]
| 1 [[Bay leaf|bay leaf]]
| 4 [[free range eggs]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] in a largish saucepan on a medium heat.
| When hot, add the whole or chopped [[Garlic|garlic]].
| Once the [[Garlic|garlic]] is golden [[Brown|brown]], remove from heat. If you are using whole [[Cloves|cloves]], then blend them with a little of the [[Stock|stock]]. Set aside.
| Return pan to the heat and add the [[Paprika|paprika]], allowing to [[Stew|stew]] for a minute or two.
| If you have blended the [[Garlic|garlic]], return the mixture to the pan after the [[Paprika|paprika]] has been cooked.
| Add the remaining [[Stock|stock]], [[Bread|bread]] slices and the [[Herbs|herbs]].
| Cover and allow to [[Simmer|simmer]] for 15-20 minutes.
| Remove the [[Herbs|herbs]],
| Beat the [[Eggs|eggs]] and pour some of the [[Soup|soup]] into a bowl.
| Spoon the beaten [[Egg|egg]] into the bowl and when it has started to solidify, gently pour the contents of the bowl bag into the saucepan,
| Reheat slightly, but do not [[Boil|boil]],
| Serve in bowls, being careful not to break up the [[Egg|egg]] too much.

===Variations===
For extra warmth, use hot [[Smoked paprika|smoked paprika]] instead of sweet. I tend to add about 4-5 teaspoons.

Use as much or as little [[Garlic|garlic]] as you like, but you should be able to taste it.

Try grating some [[cheese]] over the top of each bowl. In Sevilla. the [[eggs]] are poached an floated in each bowl on a largish slice of fried bread.

A Madrid version is to include 250 g of chopped [[tomatoes]] and to place bread slices and whole [[eggs]] into a casserole dish, the soup being carefully poured over it once it is cooked. You then [[bake]] the whole thing in the oven at 400C/200F/Gas 6 until the eggs are set. This should take about 5 - 10 minutes.
===Chef's notes===
Although this does not taste as strongly of [[Garlic|garlic]] as one would imagine, for a much milder version use whole Cloves of [[Garlic|garlic]] and omit the blending stage. You can then remove and discard the [[Cloves|cloves]] once the [[Soup|soup]] has finished cooking.
