Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan and toast a teaspoon of caraway in it just until fragrant, about a minute. Add the finely chopped onion and let it soften for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the cubed potatoes and grated carrot, pour in 450 ml stock (or water with a stock cube) and add the bay leaf. Simmer for 15 minutes until tender.
  3. Fish out the bay leaf and crush some of the potatoes right in the pan, or give it a quick blitz with a stick blender — this thickens the soup without a roux. Season with salt, pepper and marjoram rubbed between your palms.
  4. Turn the heat down until the soup is barely trembling — at a rolling boil the white tears apart. Crack the eggs one at a time into a mug and gently slide each into the soup; don’t stir, and leave it to set for 3–4 minutes. The yolk should stay runny.
  5. Cut the bread into cubes and toast in a dry frying pan until crunchy. Lift the eggs into the bowls with a ladle, pour over the soup and scatter with the croutons.
