4. 4

   Add the cubed day-old bread and toast it in the pot for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.

   Около 4 мин

   Совет повара: The bread will absorb some of the oil and become slightly crunchy.

5. 5

   Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the smoked paprika quickly to prevent it from burning.

   Pour in the chicken broth, then return the pot to medium-high heat and bring the soup to a gentle boil.

   Около 5 мин

7. 7

   Reduce the heat to low, season with salt and black pepper, and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to soften and thicken the broth.

8. 8

   Carefully crack an egg into the simmering soup for each serving, ensuring they are separated.

   Около 1 мин

   Совет повара: You can crack each egg into a small bowl first to ensure no shell gets into the soup, then gently slide it in.

   Cover the pot and continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

   Около 5 мин

   Совет повара: Adjust cooking time based on your preferred egg yolk consistency.
