Sopa de Ajo

Vicky made a cauldron of good old fashioned garlic soup last night and Monique enjoyed it very much.  I told her that I used to make this recipe since I was in high school (Gwama used to call it her "poor man's instant soup"):

1/4 kilo garlic, chopped
2 chicken buillon cubes (Knorr or Maggi will do)
1/2 loaf of Pan Americana
1 can of evaporated milk (Carnation, Alpine or Alaska)
4 eggs
3 liters of water

Toast the bread in an oven toaster until golden brown, then set aside.  In a pot, brown the garlic in some olive oil.  Add the water and the chicken cubes, bring to a rapid boil.  Season with salt and pepper.  Drop in the eggs, add the toasted bread and pour in the milk.  Easy, no-brainer soup in 30 minutes!
