About Garlic Soup
Sopa de ajo is a Spanish garlic-and-bread soup. This profile follows a Basque version enriched with beaten egg and sharpened with sherry vinegar.
The flavour is intensely garlicky and savoury, with smoky pimentón, toasted bread and a bright acidic finish.
The broth is brick-red and rustic, holding dark-edged bread pieces and fine, tender ribbons of egg.
