Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Slice the baguette and toss with garlic-infused olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toast for about 10 minutes until crispy.
  2. In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Peel and smash garlic cloves, then add to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and aromatic.
  3. Pour in chicken or vegetable broth while stirring. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in salt and fresh oregano. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
  5. If using, drizzle in beaten eggs while stirring vigorously. Cook for 3-5 minutes until eggs are just set.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice right before serving.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toasted bread pieces. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
