Using a chefs knife, finely mince the garlic and onion. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and softened.
Add the softened bread to the pot, stirring to incorporate with the aromatics. Pour in additional hot water as needed to reach a porridge-like consistency and simmer gently.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before removing from the heat.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately, optionally topped with a soft-boiled egg.
