554 - Minestra di cicoria..l'acclamaron tutti a gloria! (primo invernale, facile, tipico e sfizioso)

chicory

🥗Healthier: dandelion greens

💰Cheaper: spinach

Dandelion greens provide a similar bitter flavor profile.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water

Water can be used for a lighter version.

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted seeds

💰Cheaper: bread cubes

Toasted seeds add crunch without the cost.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more economical option.

Wash the chicory well and chop it into small pieces.

Boil water with salt in a pot and add the chicory to blanch it for about 20 minutes.

While the chicory is cooking, filter the meat broth and remove any fat.

Cut the savoy cabbage into thin strips.

Once the chicory is soft, remove it from the pot and squeeze out excess water.

Bring the meat broth back to a boil and add the savoy cabbage.

In a bowl, crack 4 eggs and add 100 g of parmesan cheese, a pinch of black pepper, a little salt, and a drizzle of olive oil; mix well to create a creamy mixture.

Once the savoy cabbage is cooked, add the squeezed chicory back into the broth.

Slowly pour the egg and cheese mixture into the boiling broth while stirring to create a creamy texture.

Let it boil for an additional 30 seconds to thicken the soup before serving.
