Instructions

  1. Get ready. Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 400°F. Dice the bread into 3/4-inch cubes.
  2. Toast the bread. Place the bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until crisp and golden. Set aside.
  3. Sauté the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the paprika and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the bread. Add the toasted bread and bay leaf and toss to coat with the garlic and paprika oil. Pour in the wine and cook until completely absorbed into the bread, about 3 minutes.
  5. Simmer. Pour in the chicken stock and season the soup with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of Freshly ground black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer to allow the flavors to meld, about 15 minutes.
  6. Add the eggs. With the soup still at a low simmer, slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while stirring. Cook until the egg is set, about 1 minute.
  7. Finish and serve. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve.
