EGG, GARLIC AND TORTILLA SOUP
This is a really thick, quick and comforting soup that is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The key to making this soup is to have everything prepped before you start cooking because it comes together really fast. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the hottest, I would say this is a 6. See my notes below on ways I change up the ingredients, depending on what I have on hand.

Steps:
- 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 bread slices to skillet and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until browned, about 4 minutes. Divide toasts among 4 large soup bowls.
- 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.
- Transfer eggs with slotted spoon to toasts and season with salt. Ladle soup into bowls and top with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the soup will taste. If possible, use organic eggs, garlic, and tortillas.
- Roast the garlic: Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it sweeter. You can roast the garlic in the oven or in a skillet on the stovetop.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but not hard-boiled. Overcooked eggs will make the soup tough.
- Add the tortillas at the end: The tortillas should be added to the soup just before serving. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
This egg, garlic, and tortilla soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The soup is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will love.
