5 Spanish SOUPS to BEAT the WINTER BLUES

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon cubes

Homemade stock is fresher and lower in sodium.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil offers similar health benefits with a neutral flavor.

chickpeas

🥗Healthier: white beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans are often less expensive and ready to use.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Stale bread works well for thickening and adds texture.

Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

After heating for 2 minutes, add 5 cloves of garlic cut into chunks and 1/2 finely diced onion.

Mix continuously for 4 minutes until golden.

Add 4 pieces of baguette bread cut into half-inch squares and mix until the bread absorbs the oil.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of sweet smoked Spanish paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Add 1 cup of vegetable broth and 1 cup of cold water, mixing to combine.

Bring to a boil, then add 2 organic eggs to poach.

Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes until eggs are poached.

Remove from heat and serve the soup in a shallow bowl.
