How to Make Acorda Alentejana Alentejo Bread And Garlic Soup

  1. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and mix with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium-sized soup pan.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) to the soup pan. Pour in 4 cups of water and stir well to combine.
  3. In a separate saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle simmer. Crack 2 eggs individually into small bowls, then gently slip them into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  4. Ladle the garlic soup into individual bowls. Top each bowl with a thick slice (about 1/2 inch) of crusty bread, a poached egg, and a sprinkle of extra coriander (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
