Bread, Egg and Garlic Soup image

This is comfort food at its finest. It's a warm, simple and easy dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up day old bread. The key to this soup is to have everything prepped before you start cooking because it comes together really fast.

2 slices whole wheat bread, darkley toasted and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
