Why This Recipe Is So Loved
This broth is packed with rich garlic flavor that warms you from the inside out. It’s simple to make and adds depth to any dish. Plus, it’s a great way to boost your immune system naturally.
Step 1
Peel and chopping the garlic, then pop it into a medium saucepan along with the chicken broth. Heat it up just until it starts to gently boil. Once it’s there, take the pot off the heat, cover it with a lid, and let it sit for about 10 minutes so the garlic can really infuse the broth.
Step 2
While the broth is resting, spread some butter on your bread slices and sprinkle them with Parmesan cheese and a little paprika for a bit of extra flavor. Toast the bread in a toaster oven on a medium setting—somewhere around 5 or 6—until it’s nicely crusty but not burnt. When it’s done, take it out and cut the toast into small cubes using a serrated knife.
Step 3
Divide the bread cubes evenly into four soup bowls. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and some lemon-pepper seasoning over the bread. Give the soup a good stir with a ladle, then carefully ladle the garlic broth and the softened garlic pieces over the bread cubes. Stir everything together in the bowls so the bread soaks up that garlicky goodness. Serve right away and enjoy!
