Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 c Chicken broth
2 ts Olive oil
1 sm Clove garlic or 1/2 large,-
-peeled and crushed
1 sl Cuban or French bread
1 ea Egg
Salt and freshly ground-
-pepper to taste
1 t Minced parsley
2 ts Grated hard queso blanco-
-(see Note) or Parmesan-
-cheese

Bring the chicken broth to a boil. In a small
skillet, heat the oil. Add the garlic and saute until
golden and aromatic. Place the bread in a large soup
bowl, pour the oil and garlic over it, add the boiling
chicken broth, and immediately break the egg into the
soup. It will cook in 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and
pepper, and sprinkle with the parsley and cheese.

NOTE: There are dozens of quesos blancos, or white
cheeses, which is exactly how the name translates.
Some are soft, some fresh, but many aged. Queso blanco
generally is mild flavored, though some of the aged
ones can be quite tangy. They are found in markets in
Florida and in most cities with colonies of residents
of Caribbean, Cuban, or Mexican ancestry. Try the
cheeses, and choose the one that suits your taste.
