Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3 units large eggs
- 1.5 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons semolina flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
While the broth is heating, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, semolina flour, chopped parsley, grated nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the eggs.
Step 3
Whisk the egg mixture vigorously until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Once the broth is gently boiling, reduce the heat to low to simmer. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot in a thin, steady stream while continuously stirring the broth with a fork or whisk to create delicate egg threads.
Step 5
Allow the soup to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are cooked and form soft ribbons.
Step 6
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 7
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
