Ingredients
- 6 cups Chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
Step 3
While the broth is heating, whisk the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese together in a medium bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Step 4
Once the broth is simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low. Slowly pour the egg and Parmesan mixture into the broth in a thin, steady stream, stirring continuously with a fork or whisk to create delicate ribbons of cooked egg.
Step 5
Add the chopped spinach to the pot and stir gently. Let the soup simmer for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Step 6
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 7
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
