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.
