Creamy Spanish GARLIC SOUP | Easy NO DAIRY 30 Minute Recipe

This Creamy Spanish Garlic Soup, known as Crema de Sopa de Ajos, is filled with simple & honest flavors, made with the humblest ingredients and done in about 30 minutes. Serve it warm, at room temperature or even chilled on a hot summers day.

What gives this soup that beautiful creamy texture is the bread. I used a baguette, which is what´s typically used in Spain. Of course you can use other types of bread, but I do recommend using a baguette. As it gives this soup that rich and classic texture.

What really flavors this creamy soup is the Spanish paprika (25% OFF Your Order If You Buy Through this Link). Truly one of Spain´s most important pantry staples. You can add other spices and herbs if you like. But by keeping it simple, is what makes this soup so special.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: For the liquid I used homemade vegetable broth. But you can also use chicken broth or even beef broth. If the soup is too thick once you blend it, just add in more broth to thin it out. To serve chilled add into the fridge, to serve warm heat in a pan, to serve at room temperature, serve directly once the soup is done.
