Peel all the garlic cloves, removing any tough or damaged skin. Slice them thinly to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor extraction.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and stir continuously, cooking until golden and fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown too much, it can turn bitter.
Cut bread slices into cubes or strips. In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil and toast the bread until crisp and golden. Alternatively, bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes.
Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in salt, pepper and paprika for depth of flavor. Let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly. Slowly drizzle them into the simmering soup, stirring constantly to create thin strands. If you prefer poached eggs, carefully drop whole eggs into the soup and cook until the whites are set.
Ladle the soup into bowls, add the toasted bread pieces and garnish with fresh parsley or a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately while hot.
