Add 2 eggs to a saucepan and fill with water to about 1.25 cm above the eggs.

Heat a large fry pan over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.

Cut 4 slices from a baguette, each 1.25 cm thick, and cut into small squares for croutons.

Add bread pieces to the hot fry pan, mixing occasionally until golden fried, about 4-5 minutes, then set aside.

Add another 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to the same pan, then add 2 slices of baguette, garlic cloves, and blanched almonds.

Fry ingredients for 3-4 minutes until golden, then remove from pan and set aside.

Add 3 cups of vegetable broth to the same pan and bring to a boil.

Add the fried ingredients into a tall plastic cylinder with 120 ml of water, sea salt, and black pepper, and blend until smooth.

Once the broth boils, add the almond puree and mix well, then simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Remove from heat and serve garnished with quartered hard-boiled eggs, croutons, and fresh parsley.
