Ingredients

• 4 cups Chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon Semolina flour (optional for thickness)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

While the broth is heating, crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until combined.

Add the grated Parmesan, semolina flour (if using), parsley, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk well to combine into a smooth mixture.

Step 4

Once the broth is simmering, slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a fork or whisk to create small, delicate ribbons of egg.

Step 5

Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the egg is fully cooked and forms tender strands.

Taste the soup and adjust salt or pepper as needed.

Step 7

Ladle the Stracciatella into bowls, garnish with additional grated Parmesan or parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
