Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 large onion (about 50 grams)
• 7 cloves of garlic
• 2 sprigs of fresh parsley
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 75 grams of salt
• 5 medium tomatoes
• 100 grams whole almonds
• 200 grams serrano ham
• 4 slices of wheat bread
• 5 glasses of water

Preparation part one

• First make sure that all vegetables are well washed.
• Then put a pan of water on a low heat.
• Let it warm up slowly for 20 minutes.
• When the water is almost boiling, add the eggs and let them cook for 10 minutes.
• Then remove the eggs from the water and put them on a separate plate, then peel and cut them into pieces.

• Then peel the garlic cloves, making sure that no traces of the peel remain. Crush them or cut them into small pieces.
• Then put the almonds and garlic in a frying pan with a dash of extra virgin olive oil.
• Sauté the garlic and almonds so that the flavors blend perfectly.
• Then remove them from the pan and set them aside. Don’t wash the pan!
• Use a blender to make the mixture into a thick paste. You can add water if needed.
• Make a small cross on the bottom of each tomato with a potato peeler.
• Blanch the tomatoes in a small pan of boiling water for about 2 minutes, drain, remove the skin and chop into small cubes.

Part two

• Do you remember the skillet you fried the garlic and almonds in? Cut the onions into small cubes and fry them in the same pan. Remember that the ingredients take a certain amount of time to get the desired taste.

• When the onion is fried, you can add the tomatoes. Bake them together on low heat for 20 minutes.
• Now carefully cut the Serrano ham into small cubes. The idea is to make the most of the amount of ham you have.
• Add the chopped ham to the garlic and almond paste and stir until well blended.
• Then add five glasses of water and the boiled egg, mix all the ingredients together in a casserole and let it boil for 15 minutes.
• Cut the bread into small pieces and fry them in the frying pan with vegetable oil.

Once everything has cooled down a bit, you can serve the soup and enjoy a really delicious and healthy meal!
