STRACCIATELLA SOUP



Stracciatella Soup image

Stracciatella is often referred to as 'Italian egg drop soup,' which is fine, but knowing the name actually means little, torn rags or shreds works so much better metaphorically. When you've been run ragged, stracciatella is always there for you. As you eat this, hopefully with some nice crusty bread, imagine all those little 'rags' floating in the bowl are all your torn-up problems, both real and imagined. They were there, and then they were gone. You just won--with soup.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Chicken Soup Recipes     Chicken and Rice Soup Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (3 pound) whole chicken
3 quarts water
11 carrots
6 stalks celery
2 onions
½ cup uncooked white rice
6 ounces baby spinach, chopped
½ cup grated Romano cheese
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
4 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Cut up chicken into large pieces and place in a large soup pot with the water. Chop 8 carrots, 3 stalks of celery and 1 onion and place them in the pot as well. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes, until chicken is tender. Remove chicken and reserve stock. When cool enough to handle, bone chicken and cut meat into bite-size pieces.
  • Process reserved stock in a blender or food processor or using an immersion blender and return it to the pot with the chicken meat. Chop the remaining 3 carrots, 3 stalks of celery and 1 onion and stir into the chicken mixture with the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove chicken mixture from heat and stir in spinach, Romano, salt, pepper, lemon juice and oregano. Set aside.
  • In large saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Pour the eggs into the boiling broth, slowly, in a thin stream. Remove the broth from the heat and stir it into the chicken mixture. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: For the best stracciatella, use full-fat milk, heavy cream, and fresh vanilla beans. You can also use vanilla extract, but the flavor will be more intense with beans.
  • Don't overcook the egg yolks: The egg yolks should be cooked just until they are thickened and creamy. If you overcook them, they will become rubbery.
  • Chill the mixture before churning: This will help the ice cream to set up properly.
  • Add the chocolate chips at the end of the churning process: This will prevent them from melting and becoming too soft.
  • Serve the ice cream immediately or store it in the freezer for later: Stracciatella ice cream is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Stracciatella ice cream is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich flavor and creamy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and indulgent dessert, give stracciatella ice cream a try.
