CHEF JOHN'S SPANISH GARLIC SOUP (SOPA DE AJO)
Sopa de Ajo is a wonderfully rustic bread soup spiked with sliced garlic, paprika, and ham. If that wasn't enough to get your attention, it's also topped with eggs poached in a fragrant, brick-red broth. It's like a steaming bowl of breakfast-for-dinner.

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.

- 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 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.

Steps:
- To make the croutons, preheat the oven to 350'°F (175°C). Combine the olive oil and garlic in a bowl, add the diced bread, and toss until well coated. Transfer to a baking sheet pan and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Return the croutons to the bowl, sprinkle with the paprika, and toss well. To make the soup, heat the olive oil and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat until the garlic is lightly browned. Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the paprika and cayenne so they do not burn and taste bitter. Immediately add the stock and bring to a boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm. To serve, preheat the oven to 500'°F (260°C). Add the croutons to the soup and bring to a boil, shaking the pan gently so that all the croutons are moistened. Carefully place 4 hot ovenproof serving bowls on a baking sheet pan. Divide the soup among the 4 bowls. Break an egg into the center of each dish. Gently spoon a tablespoon of the soup over each egg. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the white of the egg turns opaque but the yolk is still runny. Remove from the oven, place on a plate, and sprinkle with the chives.
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.
