Simple, comforting, and packed with flavor—great for cold days or when you want something soothing.

- 1 egg (optional, for richness)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional: paprika, parsley, lemon juice
👩🍳 Instructions

- Add bread cubes (if using) and toast slightly.
- Pour in broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Simmer for 10–15 minutes.
- (Optional) Beat the egg and slowly drizzle it in while stirring to create silky strands.

- Roast the garlic first for a sweeter, milder flavor
- Add shredded chicken for extra protein
- Great for soothing a sore throat or when you’re feeling under the weather
If you want, I can share a creamy garlic soup or a Pakistani-style garlic broth version—both are really good 😋
