Cesnaková polievka (Garlic Soup)

This one is simple and very tasty - for soup lovers. The only soup I was able to cook so far.

YOU NEED: 10 cloves of garlic, 1,9 liter water, 3 cubes of bouillon, 4 potatoes, red paprika, caraway, salt, cooking buttor or oil

Step 1: Use a garlic press for 10 cloves of garlic and fry them on cooking butter or oil for a few second, then quickly add 1,9 l water.

Step 2: Add 3 cubes of bouillon, 2 spoons of red paprika and 1 spoon of caraway, plus some salt.

Step 3: Cut 4 potatoes into small cubes and add the to the soup. Once the potatoes are soft, the soup is done.

Step 4: Soup should be served with croutons. The easiest way is to just buy them ready made in the shop. I tried to prepare them, but it didn't really work out. The recipe is tu put bread on a frying pan and wait until it turns into toast. You can also use a normal toaster. Anyway, if you will use sandwich bread, it will not work, because it is too soft. Best is to use a normal bread (not a soft one) or just buy them.

Step 5: Cut the bread into small cubes and put them in the bowl. Then serve the soup over them.
