It’s a simple, quick, and comforting recipe, perfect for days when you want something light yet satisfying.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 1 small green salad
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- 2 slices of bacon
- 1.5 liters of water
- 100 ml of milk
- 1 teaspoon of oil
- Salt, to taste
- Vinegar, to taste
- 4 eggs for the omelet

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Start by washing the green salad thoroughly. Choose a fresh salad with bright green leaves, and cut it into thin strips. The garlic should be peeled and finely chopped, and the bacon cut into small cubes. This mix of ingredients will give the soup an unmistakable flavor.

Step 2: Brown the bacon
In a medium pot, add a teaspoon of oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the bacon cubes. Let them brown, stirring occasionally, until they become crispy and golden. This process will release the fat and flavors from the bacon, giving a delicious taste to the soup.

Step 3: Add the green salad
When the bacon is browned, add the strips of green salad to the pot. Gently stir to combine with the bacon. Let the salad soften slightly, about 2-3 minutes. This will add a pleasant texture and allow the flavors to blend perfectly.

Step 4: Boil the soup
Add 1.5 liters of water to the pot, along with salt to taste. Cover with a lid and let the soup boil for 15 minutes. It’s important for the salad to have time to release its flavor, and the water to become a flavorful broth.

Step 5: Add the garlic
After 15 minutes, add the finely chopped garlic to the pot. Let it boil for another 5 minutes for the garlic to reveal its flavor. Then, turn off the heat and add vinegar to taste. The vinegar will add a pleasant contrast between the sweetness of the bacon and the freshness of the salad.

Step 6: Prepare the omelet
While the soup rests, prepare the omelet. In a pan, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them well. Let the omelet cook on both sides until it becomes golden. Once ready, cut it into small cubes.

Step 7: Serve
Let the soup rest for 10 minutes to cool slightly and allow the flavors to settle. Then, in a deep plate, add the green salad soup and sprinkle the omelet cubes on top. This final touch not only enhances the dish's appearance but also adds a soft and creamy texture.

Serving suggestions
This soup pairs perfectly with a slice of homemade bread or crispy croutons. If you want to add a touch of freshness, top with a few fresh parsley leaves before serving.

Nutritional benefits
Green salad is an excellent source of vitamins, especially vitamins A and K, while garlic has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Bacon, although a source of fat, can be consumed in moderation and contributes to a balanced diet when combined with vegetables.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use a different salad? Yes, you can experiment with other types of salad, such as arugula or spinach, for different flavors.
2. How can I make the soup vegetarian? You can omit the bacon and add more vegetables for a rich taste.
3. What drinks pair well with this soup? A cold lemonade or a warm herbal tea will perfectly complement the meal.

Customized version
If you want to add another layer of flavor, try adding some spices, such as black pepper or sweet paprika, during cooking. This can transform the soup into a truly unique experience.
