---

I found this recipe on the net. I have not tried it yet but what is there not to like?!!

---

Steps

---

In a skillet , heat the olive oil over medium heat.

---

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

---

Take care the garlic does not burn.

---

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.
