Join me and let's see how to make Açorda de Marisco (Portuguese Seafood Bread Soup)

Instructions:

Step 1
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Sauté until they become translucent.
Step 2
• Stir in the red bell pepper, tomatoes, paprika, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Step 3
• Add the seafood to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn pink and the clams and mussels begin to open.
Step 4
• Pour in the fish or seafood broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors together.
Step 5
• While the soup simmers, toast the slices of bread until they're crisp on the edges.
Step 6
• Tear the toasted bread into chunks and place them at the bottom of serving bowls.
Step 7
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the hot soup, stirring constantly to create ribbons of cooked egg throughout the soup.
Step 8
• Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in half of the chopped cilantro and parsley.
Step 9
• Ladle the hot soup over the bread in the serving bowls.
Step 10
