Lynn's Cuban Cheese Garlic Soup
1 1/4 cup Chicken broth
2 tsp Olive oil
1 x Garlic clove, peeled and
Crushed
1 slc Cuban or French bread
1 x Egg
Salt and freshly ground
Pepper to taste
1 tsp Parsley, minced
2 tsp Queso blanco, hard, grated
Method :
Bring the chicken broth to a boil. In a small skillet, heat the oil. Add the
garlic and saute until golden and aromatic. Place the bread in a large soup
bowl, pour the oil and garlic over it, add the boiling chicken broth, and
immediately break the egg into the soup. It will cook in 2 to 3 minutes. Add
salt and pepper, and sprinkle with parsley and cheese.
NOTE: There are dozens of quesos blanco, or white cheeses, which is exactly how
the name translates. Some are soft, some fresh, but many aged.
Queso blanco generally mild flavored, though some of the aged ones can be quite
tangy. They are found in markets in Florida and in most cities with colonies of
residents of Caribbean, Cuban, or Mexican ancestry. Try the cheeses and choose
the one that suits your taste.
