Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the thinly sliced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
  2. Add the torn or thinly sliced stale bread to the pot, tossing it gently to coat in the garlic oil. Sauté for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Pour in 6 to 7 cups of chicken stock or vegetable broth, breaking the bread into smaller pieces. Bring to a strong simmer and allow to bubble gently for about 10 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, while stirring in a circular motion, gradually pour in the whisked eggs.
  5. Taste the soup and adjust the consistency by adding up to 1 additional cup of stock if necessary. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
