Castilian garlic soup
Castilian Garlic soup or Castilian soup is a very complete dish despite the very few ingredients it contains. It was eaten as lunch to start the hard and cold days of work in the field.
With few ingredients we will prepare a delicious garlic soup, this soup was made in the past to take advantage of the hard bread that had been accompanied by sausages, ham, garlic and egg. As you will see, a very cheap meal that resurrects a dead person.
We can cook only with water or enrich that water with chicken so that it has more flavor, the touch of the recipe is to add the raw egg once the soup is finished and that it is finished cooking on the plate
