This <\/span>simple recipe<\/b>, yet <\/span>full of flavor<\/b>, has its roots in popular Spanish cuisine, where it was often prepared to warm the body after a hard day of work.

The final touch is added with <\/span>poached eggs<\/b> that, when cooked in the soup, bring <\/span>softness and creaminess<\/b> to the dish. Ideal for a winter lunch, garlic soup is not only delicious but also perfect for boosting the immune system during cold season.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
