directions
- Place a medium, heavy soup pot over medium heat.

- Add the garlic and simmer until the garlic is softened, about 10 minutes. Pour the soup into a large bowl.
- Carefully ladle 1/3 to 1/2 of the soup into a blender and puree until smooth. Be careful to hold the top of the blender tightly, as hot liquids expand when they are blended. Alternatively use a hand blender.
- Pour the blended soup back into the soup pan.
- Puree the remaining soup.
- Once all the soup is blended and back in the soup pan, add the yogurt and the pepper.
- Keep warm, covered, over very low heat.
- FOR THE BREAD:.
- Place a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Drizzle the slices of ciabatta bread with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Grill the bread until warm and golden grill marks appear, about 3 minutes a side.
- Serve the soup in bowls with the grilled bread alongside.
