Stracciatella Soup - Italian Egg Drop Soup Recipe

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino Romano

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories, while Pecorino is often less expensive.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon cubes

Vegetable broth provides a lighter option, while bouillon is budget-friendly.

Bring chicken broth to a simmer over high heat.

Taste the broth and add salt and a pinch of black pepper if needed.

In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, chopped parsley, semolina flour, grated Parmesan cheese, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the simmering broth while stirring with a spoon.

Continue stirring until the soup comes back to a simmer and the eggs form small rags in the broth.

Taste the soup again for seasoning before serving.

Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with parsley, chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil.
