Stracciatella I

Straciatella is an Italian egg-drop soup. It uses a chicken broth base, and adds flavour with fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, and pepper.

Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
• ~¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
• ~1 tsp black pepper to taste
• ~½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
• Semolina (optional)
• Red chile flakes, or chile powder (optional)

Steps

1. Put the broth in a large pot, and bring to a boil.
2. Separately, combine eggs, cheese, and parsley, and beat until the cheese and parsley are moistened.
3. Once the broth is at a rolling boil, use a whisk to set the fluid whirling.
4. Slowly add the egg mixture, keeping the broth at a boil so the egg cooks quickly.
5. Remove from heat, and add pepper.
6. Serve immediately, or reheat and serve very hot.
