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)

Method

  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.

Notes

  • Since Parmesan cheese is salty, it's unlikely you'll need to add more salt for flavour.
