In Spain, egg whites are sometimes whipped into the soup, as with egg drop soup. Sopa de ajo[8] is a traditional winter soup in Palencia and Valladolid where it is made with bread mixed with paprika, water and garlic. It is cooked slowly until the desired degree of thickness, and a raw egg is sometimes whipped into the soup as it is served. Sopa de ajo is also traditional in Castilian-Leonese cuisine and Castilian-Manchego cuisine. In Extremaduran cuisine, sopa blanca de ajos (white bean garlic soup) is a tradition.[citation needed]
