Portuguese Bread and Garlic Soup
Report
Portuguese Bread and Garlic Soup with Cilantro and Shredded Chicken is beyond flavorful. This satisfying, rustic soup starts with a garlic, cilantro and serrano chile paste and when the shredded chicken is added makes for a filling, aromatic soup. Adapted from Rosa Filipe's Açorda à Alentejana

Ingredients
Cilantro Paste
- 2 cups cilantro (See Note 1)
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 Serrano peppers stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Soup
- ½ cup olive oil
- 6 lices day old sourdough bread
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 4 eggs lightly beaten
- 2 roasted chicken breasts shredded
Instructions
- Pulse cilantro, garlic, Serrano chiles, salt, and pepper in a food processor until roughly chopped. Add oil slowly and purée to a smooth paste. Place 1/2 cup of paste in a bowl. Set aside.
- Cut bread into 1 inch cubes and toast in oven until golden brown. In a bowl toss the cilantro paste and bread to coat. Set aside.
- Heat remaining paste in a 6 quart soup pot over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil.
- In a bowl whisk together the eggs. While stirring broth, slowly drizzle in eggs. Cook until eggs are just set, about 1 minute.
- Add shredded chicken into soup bowls. Remove soup from heat and stir in bread mixture, pour over chicken and serve hot.
Notes
- You will need a total of 2 cups fresh cilantro. I typically get 2 -3 small bunches of cilantro, stems included for a total of 2 cups. Once pureed with the Cilantro Paste ingredients you will get/use about a 1/2 cup for this soup.
