Cuban Garlic Soup Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and
1 crushed
1 slice cuban or french bread
1 egg
1 salt and freshly ground
1 pepper to taste
1 tsp parsley, minced
2 tsp queso blanco, hard, grated
Recipe
Preparation
Bring the chicken broth to a boil. In a small skillet, heat the oil.
Add the garlic and saute until golden and aromatic. Place the bread
in a large soup bowl, pour the oil and garlic over it, add the
boiling chicken broth, and immediately break the egg into the soup.
It will cook in 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper, and sprinkle
with parsley and cheese.
NOTE: There are dozens of quesos blanco, or white cheeses, which is
exactly how the name translates. Some are soft, some fresh, but many
aged. Queso blanco generally mild flavored, though some of the aged
ones can be quite tangy. They are found in markets in Florida and in
most cities with colonies of residents of Caribbean, Cuban, or
Mexican ancestry. Try the cheeses and choose the one that suits your
taste.
