Stracciatella Soup
(Italian Egg Drop Soup)
This is one of my absolute favorite soups in the world. It’s low in calories, super fast to make, is only 5 ingredientand is such a comforting, brothy, soup for winter.....
Ingredients (Makes 4 servings, about 100 calories per serving)
*6 cups chicken broth (can substitute with low-sodium broth if you prefer)
*5 large eggs
*2 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino or Parmesan cheese (I prefer Pecorino)
*1- 16-ounce package frozen chopped spinach
*1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley (optional)... I use it if I have it.
*Salt and pepper to taste
Bring the chicken broth to a boil and add the contents of the frozen spinach to the pot.
Turn the heat down to medium and cook for 5 minutes.
While it’s heating up, beat the eggs with the cheese (you can add italian parsley if preferred)
After the 5 minutes of cooking the spinach, slowly add the egg-mixture while constantly stirring it into the broth with a fork, creating fluffy egg-strands. Cook an additional 2-minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once you serve in a bowl, top off with additional cheese if you prefer.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!!
