1/4 cup Red pepper, finely chopped
1 pinch Cayenne pepper
5 cup beef or chicken stock
1 pinch salt to taste

Steps:

Heat oil in large saucepan. Add garlic and saute over medium heat until garlic is barely golden. Remove the garlic from the pan, draining as much oil as possible back into the pan.
Saute the bread slices in the oil remaining in the pan until the bread is golden brown. Remove the croutons from the pan.
Add the sweet and hot pepper and saute over low head until the sweet peppers are tender. Stir in the stock and return the garlic to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt.
Just before serving, warm each of four soup plates, then place a crouton in each plate. Carefully break an degg on top of each crouton then ladle the simmering soup over the egg and crouton. Sprinkle with parsley and serve at once.
