Italian Egg Soup

Cultural Context

Originating from the Roman countryside, Stracciatella is a comforting dish that showcases simple ingredients like eggs and broth. Traditionally served as a light meal or starter, it reflects the Italian philosophy of using quality, fresh ingredients to create satisfying flavors. Today, variations exist across Italy and beyond, with many home cooks adding their own touches, such as different herbs or vegetables.

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon cubes

Vegetable broth is a lighter option, while bouillon is more economical.

1

Prepare the broth: sauté the vegetables in a pan for a few minutes, then add 1.5 liters of water. Let it cook for 45 minutes and then let it cool slightly.

2

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water. Beat the eggs for 15-20 seconds to create nice golden strands, the 'petals' of the egg.

3

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to thicken the soup. Mix well to avoid lumps.

4

In a pot, pour in 2 bowls of broth and bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch mixture while stirring until it slightly thickens.

5

On low heat, drizzle the egg mixture while stirring in the same direction for a few seconds.

6

Season with white pepper and salt, and the egg petal soup is ready! Serve garnished with fresh scallions.
