Ingredients:
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Prepare the Broth
Start by bringing the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot. You can use store-bought broth or make your own from scratch. If you are using store-bought broth, make sure to choose a high-quality one for the best flavor.
Step 2: Beat the Eggs
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten. You want the eggs to be nice and frothy.
Step 3: Add Parmesan and Parsley
Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley to the beaten eggs. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4: Slowly Pour the Egg Mixture
Once the broth is simmering, slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot in a thin, steady stream. The eggs will cook and form delicate strands as they hit the hot broth.
Step 5: Stir Gently
Using a fork or a whisk, gently stir the soup in a circular motion. This will help the egg strands distribute evenly throughout the broth.
Step 6: Season and Serve
Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Remember that Parmesan cheese can be salty, so adjust the seasoning accordingly. Ladle the stracciatella into individual serving bowls and garnish with some extra grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Enjoy!
Now you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a warm and comforting bowl of homemade stracciatella in broth. This simple soup is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. Serve it with some crusty bread for a complete meal. Buon Appetito!
