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.
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.
Step 3
Toast the 2 slices bread until crisp, then tear into bite-size pieces. Divide the bread among 2 bowls.
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.
