- Step 1
Remove the toughest part of the crust, then cut the bread into cubes the size of a lump of sugar.
- Step 2
Crush the herbs and garlic to a paste with a little salt (about ½ teaspoon) and some water (about 2 tablespoons). This can also be done in a food processor, with a tablespoon of oil added. Put the herb paste in a warm terrine, with the olive oil and bread cubes.
- Step 3
Pour on the boiling water and stir until the bread softens to a jellied pap. It should be lumpier and more undulating than bread sauce; do not stir it too vigorously. Add more water if you like, as it should not be too thick. Season to taste.
Tip
- Good bread is essential. Freshly poached eggs, put in the soup just as it is served, are an excellent addition.
