• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized pot, bring the vegetable stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the pot and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped baby spinach and let it wilt in the simmering broth for about 1 minute.

Step 4

While the broth is simmering, crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them lightly with the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the simmering broth, stirring gently with a fork or whisk to create delicate ribbons (stracciatella) as the eggs cook.

Step 6

Let the soup simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are fully cooked and distribute evenly in the broth.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt or black pepper.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired.
