Garlic Soup
In a large pot over medium-low heat, add olive oil and garlic. Slowly simmer garlic until fragrant – but not brown- for 3 minutes. Add salt and wine, cook to burn off alcohol for an additional 2 minutes.
Add paprika, stir well to combine. The aroma will be intoxicating.
Add chicken stock (or vegetable or even water will work) bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk 2 eggs, slowly drizzle the eggs into the soup and cook for 2 minutes.
Serve immediately, piping hot, with a few croutons on top.
