I made this today. Turned out great. Thanks, Chef John!
One of my favorite soups. Better than that kind of ham and if you don't have access to Spanish "jamón serrano", it's better to use salted bacon, chorizo or Italian ham procciuto.
chef John what is your advise on a substitute for the ham if we want it kosher??
Food Wishes can I use prawns instead of ham?
There is a Spanish saying: There will not exist "cooking" without garlic.
I really have to stop watching food videos at 2 in the morning...
Erik Bergström youre not the only one......
who cares
Gileo Chan true, true
Erik Bergström lol literally watching this at 2 am
I watch cooking stuff on youtube like porn.
As a Spaniard, gotta say the recipe is perfect, save for the Italian parsley, we just use parsley. Just one point, the bread we use is usually "old" bread, so it's crunchy by default, once in the soup you don't notice it. It's one of the many Spanish recipes to "waste nothing".
I’ve always loved Spanish food, so I learned how to prepare it a long time ago. It’s one of those miraculous peasant foods made from basically leftovers.
Hi, what is the best bread to use for this soup, thanks in advance :)
@@anastasiajosephine4403 Most widely used in Spain is what we call "pistola", which is just plain white flour bread. Google "pan pistola" and there you will see some images. Anything works, but I'd avoid bread with grains if possible, for texture.
I have used sourdough sandwich bread in the past . It has the right texture and you really can’t taste the sourdough once it has soaked up the pimentón. You need some kind of white bread with body, and might even want to dry it out a bit in the oven first. Avoid soft or anything with whole grains.

Okay, made this, and it's a new family favorite! I can't believe how delicious and wholesome it was.
I have seven kids, and take care of my parents, and every single person loved it. I'm so impressed and inspired.
It's also cheap, just incredible, thanks to Spain for this magical soup
😱 7 children?
Seven children lucky guy
@@kingpickle3712 🤣 there's actually 8, but my oldest got married and moved out.
@@redlobster4841 thank you for saying that! I consider myself incredibly lucky, but I often get a negative response from many people.
Speed to 0.5 makes him sound like the happiest drunken chef ever
Lmao 💀
... cooking a Spanish hangover treatment.
😁
Thank you for this
@Emily Moss Hey so in the Jimmy Kimmel show they have this segment called "Drunk Donald" and basically they just slow him down. So I tried it here and it works pretty good because he speaks very fast. It certainly works with other people but not with everyone. I don't know Happy drunk friends but if they are just slowed down to sound drunk it should work. You just have to adjust how much you speed it up. If you slow this video down by 0,75 e.g. he just sounds normal 😅
10 years later and this is still one of my favorite Chef John recipes. So inexpensive and easy to make and tweak here or there. Tonight I used pork rinds in place of the last cup of bread, added more water, and added goat’s brie to the top while the eggs poach. Such a great hearty and decently healthy recipe for cooler weather.
Never mind for frugal students, this soup should be on everyone’s weekly rotation given the food prices these days and in our efforts to not throw away anything! I’ve taken to making my own croutons with stale bread (that I can still buy a baguette for 96cents at Superstore in Canada). Now I can whip up a soup that’s healthy and will ward off cold and flu season to bout! Cheers, thank you chef!
Perhaps you could do a series , using some of these old recipes too, that focus on economical yet tasty recipes …for this crippling economy 😊
Starving college student here. I realized at 2am last night that I didn't have to buy anything I don't already have to make this and had it for dinner tonight. I used an old hot dog bun for the bread and added a chicken breast I poached in the soup. It came out fantastic and I'll definitely be making it again
I'm gonna marry a garlic bulb

+Mossy Deer Bones have you sent out invites yet? can i join please!!!
Yes!
LMAO

I did 6 months in a Spanish prison for skimming that kind of soup in Malaga.
@ 3:20 As the chef said, you were lucky. All you got was jail.
Very true, I did the same thing in Oviedo and now I have to type this with my stump
my brother got publicly tortured and executed for that
They tortured me to death in Valladolid, then resurrected me using wizardry to torture me to death again. I only escaped 5 years later.
Can confirm, we do that in Spain. Prisoners are fed shitty frozen paella every day too
I finally tried this one after years of watching it. My god is soup is fantastic. I feel like I have cheated myself from greatness. Thank you for sharing even though it was 5 years ago.
I've made this soup twice, already, after watching this video and it is now one of my favorite soups. Even the first attempt came out almost perfect. Very flavorful and hearty. Highly recommended! Thank you chef John, you are saving the starving millennials of the world and passing down incredible bits of culture with so much humor, class and good will towards your viewers.
You not only are a great cook but you are also a great teacher.
Thank you for these wonderful recipes.
My dad was raised on garlic soup in Spain but I never knew how it was made.
Thank you.
its crazy how many men had their mothers and wives do all the cooking so they never had to learn! I feel so much more self sufficient than my grandfather and other men from that era. Knowing I can cook delicious food for myself and others is a beautiful thing. Men from previous eras were such "mama's boys", completely unable to care for themselves 🤣
One can never have too much garlic.
I thought so until my friend passed out, from overdosing on garlic. It was those creamy velvety slightly sweeter garlic cloves, after baked in tin foil on a low heat with a lil' olive oil for each clove. FYI, 2 bulbs in one go = too much garlic.
Caroline Honse My thoughts exactly! Garlic is great
Hear Hear!!!
Unless you are allergic to garlic. Then you can have way to much easily. Luckily, I am not allergic.
I always insist on spanish ham....
I attended University of Madrid in the early 70’s and this an paella were my favorite dishes!! After University I lived with a Catalan family in Barcelona and worked in the family’s metal shop and the mother made paella every Wednesday. Best time of my life!
The definition of happiness: when the right side of the screen is nothing but suggestions for Chef John's recipe videos.
I have tried this and I can’t tell you how fabulous this is. My wife has fallen in love with me all over again!
Cheers!
Aww
Holy goodness! I did not expect such an intense flavor from this seemingly simple soup! Right when I was tasting the soup for seasoning, I nearly damn fainted from such decadence. It did not need any extra seasoning. xD
Good soup. Good recipe. I recommend everyone to try to make it!
I regret reading your comment. Not that there is anything wrong with it. But it's your vivid description of the flavor of the soup that made me hungrier. Just brushed my teeth, took a shower and I'm in bed. Now I want to cook at 1am. Will definitely do it tomorrow. :)
Thanks for actually cooking the soup. So many people comment but never cook the recipe.
Ok, relax. We get that you think it’s good, but come on. It’s not the magic elixir of eternal youth. Tone it down a bit.

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN
From Spain, congratulations for a perfect recipe. That’s my favorite soup and I loved your version!
Okay 😊
What's your version?🙂
@@saurabhjibhenkar4396 I'm spaniard and my mum's version is just like this but with not parsley and not ham. Important to use "pimentón de La Vera", an spanish special smoked paprika ;)
@@luislitros wow that's good! If possible please share your recipe..👌
zen the original version is using Spanish ham and without parsley
@zen spanish ham is optional. My mum doesn't use ham xD
dude, I love how you talk. its awesome to listen to. I wish I could have you as my teacher, cooking would have been so much more fun
The voice like a music to my ears. The recipe is just amazing!
This Soup always reminds me of Childhood I would come home from school on a cold day, and the whole house would smell like Garlic...My mother would make this soup. 😊
Hi Chef John, revisiting this video, it’s now soup season and I can’t tell you how much I love making and enjoy serving this soup to my family. It is so good!
👩🏻🍳🤌🏼
Agreed!! My daughter said this is the best broth she's ever tasted, and asked me to make a vegetable and chicken soup using this broth. I'm going to try that very soon.
Im a simple man, I see a chef John video, I click like and immediately go hungry.
Mmmmm Yummy! My grandpa used to have it every evening in winter time. Congratulations!
I had this soup in a small village somewhere in Spain…I’m so happy to have the recipe! It is…heaven.
You’re the man!! I swear, the combination of your delicious soup and perfectly timed smooth and calm voice makes you’re videos incredible. I feel I can almost taste the dish 🥘
We don't put anybody in jail for skimming the oil on top, we put people in jail who say they don't like garlic soup.
Which is the 2% of the tourists... so don't worry too much.
+Marc Pons And rightfully so! Reprimand those idiots!
I would never turn my nose up at this! Can you eat it with more bread? It seems like some more bread to soak up broth would be so good.
Marc Pons
I tried it...good job Spain.
I had it on Holiday and I loved it. My mum and dad having to put up with the smell in the car less so however.
Son demasiadamente misericordiosos. Deberéis recomendar que los quemen a la hoguera. 🔥🔥😈😈
Sweet mother of garlicy heaven. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you!
So.... how did it go?
Still can’t believe how awesome this recipe is! Thank you so much
I love you, chef! Made my day with the “audio test”. I have spent the whole day doing a goulash and a beef stock, inspired by your videos :) Best regards from a follower from Bulgaria!
I've never heard of this soup before, but man, I can't wait to try this. I make my own bread a lot and there's always leftovers. I have to assume this would be the perfect use for some stale sourdough. In addition, I just love recipes that have a small number of herbs/spices used liberally rather than a whole bunch in moderation. It really lifts up the flavors that you do put in rather than blurring them together. This looks really good and really easy.
yum
Tom Haflinger Indeed, traditionally the intention of this soup was to give the bread leftovers a good use
Guillermo Zulueta Sánchez yes, just like ribollita in Italy. Both surely do give the old bread a good use :-)
It is a very old soup in Spain and very good. You can also do it the same but without meat. It's delicious.
It is very simple and very cheap and fantastic especially in winter.
I LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it so many times. It really is amazing!
Seriously one of the funnest, funniest channels around. Dude you rock
Beautiful job Chef! I have tried over 20 of your recipes and I thank you for all the knowledge you share with us and the beauty you bring to Food! ☺
OH MAN! Chef John, That was good! I am from Madrid and I am going to make some of this "garlic delivery system" RIGHT NOW! The only thing missing is some proper Spanish Serrano (cured) ham and I would rather use an Italian (cured) prosciuto as alternative instead of cooked ham. In Spain you keep the dryer "bits" that are left over from slicing the ham for soups and stocks.
Note; you can choose between sweet smoked paprika or a more hotter variant.
Note; as the chef said, it's the olive oil that picks up all the flavours - use GOOD extra virgin olive oil... specially fo rthe finishing (yes it makes a difference!) .... and one more thing... I'm going to add a dash of Sherryvinegar (yeehaa!)
For all those who love Carribean food, try food from Spain! It is wonderful! This recipe looks great!
Chef John, THANK YOU. I had a bowl of this many years ago in Alcala de Henares and still crave it!! You really do make all my food wishes come true
This is the kind of soup to eat during a cold winter day, it just brings you back to life!
"for all you starving students that keep emailing me" HAHHAHA sorry, but can we just take a minute to appreciate his humor?
lolipopscandy62 I don't get it. Please explain, I'm dumb.
Nooo don't say that ahhaha he's just saying that it's a cheap dish and college students tend to not have a lot of money, so they likely email him saying "make something cheap" lol :P
I fail to see the humor in hungry students as well, though I do recognise that laughter is almost always directed at some sort of injury/suffering.
I found it funny, but it's definitly true. I'm broke AF and I'm making this dish tonight :D
it was a tasteful harmless joke.. these student's are literally starving, come on man lighten up :)
I love this guy , from the cooking process presentation , and eloquent speech.
Ps he is funny too:)
Made this yesterday. One of the tastiest soups I have made, a new favourite. Thanks for the recipe.
This soup is fabulous, so simple and so easy. Thank your chef John.
Life's so hard when you're a soup addict
Can I take you to Dennys??
It's actually much easier as a soup addict. Cheaper too. lol.
I've made this soup a number of times but I still have to refer to the video, which I love almost as much as the soup.
One word of caution: During the cooking process, make certain which red powdered spice is which. Today I mistook Cayenne for Paprika. 2 teaspoons Cayenne pepper...
This recipe started my food making journey as a 15yo 10 years ago! Thanks John for the inspiration and great recipes over the years ❤
One of my fav recipes for winter. Easy, cheap and so damn good! I do my own variation of course (anything besides ham, no eggs, larger bread pieces, plus some more bread towards the end). A great introduction for those who didn't know it.
Come back, winter!!
As a Spaniard I can say this recipe is just SPOT ON.
You just made me want to make that for lunch tomorrow. Shame I think I don't have ham at home right now...
THE single most dagerous kitchen appliance is that mandolin slicer..in my humble finger tip less opinion.
Get the Oxo Good Grip mandolin from Amazon. Three blade settings and a gripper that holds the veg thus saving your fingertips - cheap too.
MagicaLucem agreed. Especially with something as small as garlic cloves, he should've been using a mandolin food holder.
He’s a pro
The safest kitchen gadget is a garlic press...
False! The most dangerous cooking utensil is the ancient, duller than the potatoes it slices, vegetable peeler in the back of your grandmas kitchen drawer. It will catch into the potato then without warning pop loose straight into your hand every single time. It will always work fine when your grandma uses it but as soon as you touch it, the peeler will go straight for your hand like you killed a member of it's family and it's trying to avenge their death. I have the Thanksgiving scars to prove it.
Made this. One of the best soups ever! So comforting and delectable! Thank you! 😊
I made this today....INCREDIBLE!!!!I sort of chopped the garlicc instead of slicing it because I dont have a mandolin and it was still so delicious (and easy and cheap!)Thanks Chef John!
Damn chef john! Millions of subscribers and millions of hits. IMPRESSIVE! CONGRATS! 💛🌟💙🌟💜🌟💚🌟❤
Your video's just makes me Happy. Thank you so much.
I just made this and was going to make tomato tart to accompany it but I can’t stop eating this to make anything else. Omg so much flavor chef John! Rustic is so accurate. I love the texture of the bread after crisping it up also. I used water & bone broth and no egg and probably half the paprika
Made this a few times now. It’s amazing! Thank you, Chef John.
I'm Spanish and my mom used to did it when a was a kid and I think this is just perfect. I like it better with whisked eggs but that is up tu you. You can add in some chorizo if you like it too. :)
@Heloise O'Byrne whole egg in and then stir when hot and before serving
This soup cured my hangover!
your video just brought me happiness in this hard times. Thank you family!
I made this tonight! Thanks for sharing it. It is really fantastic.
This is a delicious soup and the oven method for the bread, though not traditional as he says, is much easier and gives a fantastic result. The only changes I make are to use smoked paprika and to add a good pinch of sugar (to balance the very slightly bitter edge that garlic can have). It is a really lovely and comforting dish.
This is going on the winter soup menu. Thank you!
I’ve never heard of this soup, but I am DROOLING 🤤 I’m gonna make this soon
Ty! 😋
Gracias Chef Juan, brings back so much memories!!!! Grew up eating this Sopa de Ajo
"Great garlic delivery system" I'm just gonna just call it that.

Made this for my roommates today (2nd time overall). It's an incredibly easy, but tasty, dish. Even though I had to prepare a double portion of bread than I had initially thought would be enough, after having already put the first portion in, it still came out perfect. So you would basically have to purposefully do something wrong in order to ruin this dish.
Thanks chef John. I made this for a large dinner party. Best dish of the evening!
Absolutely lovely mouthwatering and healthy dish and head over heal in love with your commentary.
Cubed bread with olive oil in the oven for 15 mins at 350°F
Quarter cup of olive oil and thinly sliced garlic on medium to medium low until golden
Add diced ham, stirr for one min
Add paprika to taste, stirr for one minute.
Add toasted bread and stirr until it's coated in the oil , add stock, add salt and pepper.
Adjust liquid until soup is thicc.
Add spices, taste test.
Poach eggs until done and serve.
thanks! it saves time going back to check the ingredients.
How do you lke your soup? THICC
Love the Audio verification :)
Impeccable, brilliantly done Chef John !
I’ve made this a couple times and my family loves it. Also his recipes in general are great. Best wishes man.
We have a version of garlic soup in India too, it's so beautiful to think we all are similar even in at so much distance
I guess that your soup has a higher spicy level than ours hahahaha
What's the name of the garlic soup you're talking about? Sounds pretty dope
1:26 uncommon name for the piece of equipment, for anyone wondering, the device he is using is also called a Mandoline slicer, which might be easier to find under that name.
+Roobz Z Yes, I just discovered those a couple of years ago. Makes slicking soooooooo easy!!! (and fast).
think i've seen fitmencook use it
At Asian stores they have very small ones, like 4 inches. I have one. Perfect for garlic and ginger!
The mandolin needs judicious handling. It delivers painful cuts to the tips of your fingers if you're not careful!
Richard Turpin - amen, brother. Those things are lethal, and do nothing else that a good knife can't.
Chef John, you are the paprika of my week-a!
This looks heavenly
I am Spanish/Cuban /Sicilian..I know this soup well, and you did a great job with the recipe. .of course, you really need Jamon Iberico ....LOL....But overall, very nicely done, chef
Jamón serrano is more than enough. Ibérico would be a waste.
1:33 Or a razor blade, like in "The Goodfellas"
Julius The Illustrious LoL beat me to it
I've made this soup just to cut the garlic like a wiseguy
Paulie had a good system of doing the garlic
Made this soup few days ago and I loved it! I travel quite a lot, but this was something new for me! Thank you!!!
So pleased with myself.. had a left over home made bread roll, used stock and meat from the hock I was using from pea and ham soup base.. finally tried this.. soooo good.... thanks!!
4:22 "Splash a lil of that haht stahck" - this is going to be in my head for days now.
Well I just finished off a bowl of this soup and it was scrumptious! So cheap but oh so delicious, my only complaint is that I didn't try it sooner. Wow, even my burps are yummy, lol!
Scrumptious
kimberley marshall lol
Did you use thinly sliced ham in yours like he does in the video? I want to make this and am considering using some decent lunch meat, but I'm unsure if it would still taste as good.
this work beautifully with any kind of smoked or dry-cured meat; basically the more flavor in the meat, the better (relatively flavorless meats don't bring much into the soup in terms of flavor, but will add some texture contrast to the bread). I make this with bacon when times are tough, and it's DELICIOUS.
I was about to comment asking the same thing. Ham is not my favourite, chicken is not a favourite of the girl's, so I was looking for a substitute aside from those. Bacon sounds like a good compromise. If anyone has any other suggestions besides what's been mentioned en esta thread, I would listen! Eggs usually aren't my favourite, but poached I can like (something about scrambled eggs just turns me off of most preparations, but it really is just scrambled eggs that offend my sensibilities). I can't wait to make this!
that looks heavenly
Amazing. The best soup ever
Trying this for our next Meatless Monday meal (swapping out the chicken stock with veggie). Thank you for the wonderful idea to use up some bread.
:) Natasha
Natasha Hensel It looks like it’d be a great meatless Monday dish. How did you substitute the ham and flavoring that comes with it? Ik the idea of the dish is cheap but I feel like all you would be left with is bread soaked in a paprika garlic brother. I think it needs more substance :)
I'm not sure how it tastes myself, but if you look up other Spanish Garlic Soup recipes most don't call for ham... so it must still be good without it.
My grannie from Castile, Spain, used only olive oil slowly warmed , bloomed smoked pimentón for a minute, added WATER, salt to taste, let it reach a boil, and off heat, added crushed garlic from a mortar and paper thin slices of yesterday bread.
Mixed it on the hot soup wthiout cooking it further. Let rest covered for 5 min aand you have dinner.
Beware that the garlic is barely poached on the soup, so is VERY sharp.
Never broth, just oil, water, salt, paprika, stale bread and sometimes she would crack one beaten egg that cooked instantly off heat.
She was born on 1923, lived till 85, and used to make this once a week on winter.
If there were leftovers, rarely, it was her favorite breakfast.
Frankbrooo Tofurkey sells a vegan ham which is decently hammy lol also you could get chicken-less stock on amazon.
I've made this twice now and it's one of my favorite flavors. I can't get the eggs to poach right but that don't deter me
Dear Chef John, Thank you for your recipes...
Looks like a delicious soup for getting over/through influenza.
Garlic is so yummy and healthy. Thanks chef for posting this recipe 😋👌
Just going to add a rhyme because I felt it was needed: You are the interest group of your soup!
"it's up to you... it's your soup!"
Made this soup! Incredible
This is one of my favorite soup. Thank you for the recepie!
As a spaniard I have to say two things: That´s a real "sopa de ajo" (maybe my grandmother wouldn´t add any kind of ham, or in the case, she surely only add a few spanish good ham thin chips over the surface, not to cook it, only when the dish is ready to serve), and the 2nd thing: ¡Viva el ajo!
there are few things in Life that make my stomach churn like seeing a bare hand using a mandolin slicer
fingertips add some needed crunch
that looks incredible
I was not prepared for how amazing this turned out, it was wonderful and very easy to make, thank you.
Healthy, cheap, easy and DELICIOUS! I will likely not make it again, however, as my family may not recover from the resultant garlic flatulence.
1:00 "Let's get some audio verification. There we go." BA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Perfect!
Hahaha, I love the "olive oil for blessings, cayenne for good luck" bit. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, garlic is my absolute favorite and this sounds great for the winter 😄
I grew up eating this! My Dad was a Spanish food freak..he made this all the time and this is the best version I've ever seen for me!!❤ I don't even like Jose Andre's version? Thank you for sharing this dish.🙂🙂🙂
