Ingredients:

• 4
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Grated nutmeg (optional)
• Toasted bread for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. You can season it with a bit of salt and pepper to taste, but remember that Parmesan cheese will add some saltiness.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and finely chopped parsley together. You can also add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg for extra flavor if you like.

3. Once the broth is simmering, reduce the heat to low. Using a whisk, stir the broth gently in a circular motion to create a small whirlpool in the center.

4. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the center of the whirlpool while continuing to stir. The eggs will cook almost instantly and form delicate strands.

5. Allow the soup to cook for an additional minute or so, ensuring the eggs are fully set but still soft.

6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

7. Serve hot with toasted bread, if desired.

Stracciatella soup is a comforting and elegant dish, perfect for a light lunch or as an appetizer. You can also customize it by adding some spinach or other greens for added nutrition and flavor. Enjoy!
