Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thinly slice the 8 garlic cloves. Heat the 3 tbsp olive oil in a pot over medium heat and add the garlic, cooking until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 4 cups vegetable broth and 0.5 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, until the broth is flavorful and slightly reduced.

  3. Step 3

    Toast the 2 slices bread until crisp, then tear into bite-size pieces. Divide the bread among 2 bowls.

  4. Step 4

    Ladle the hot soup over the bread. Garnish with the 0.5 cup chopped cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately.
