Garlic Soup

Preparation

Heat the Spanish olive oil in a frying-pan and gently sauté the whole, peeled garlic cloves. Remove the garlic from the oil, crush in a mortar or processor and set aside. In the same oil, brown the thinly-sliced bread (with the crusts removed). Transfer the bread and garlic to a saucepan, add the stock and season with salt. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Lightly beat the eggs then turn up the heat and gradually pour into the soup, stirring all the time, until the eggs have set.
