Stracciatella alla Romana, or Roman egg drop soup, can be made in any season, and goes together quickly, as long as you have the most important ingredient: good homemade chicken stock. Parmesan and eggs are whisked together and poured into the bubbling broth to make "i straccetti," or savory, eggy little rags.

Steps:
- In a soup pot over high heat, bring chicken broth to a boil. Season to taste with salt and reduce heat to a simmer.
- Crack eggs into a medium-size bowl and beat lightly with a wire whisk. Whisk in about 1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg, the lemon zest, a large pinch of salt, several twists of the pepper mill and 1 3/4 ounces grated Parmesan.
- Pour egg mixture into simmering chicken broth and stir gently until mixture forms little rags. Simmer for another minute or so.
- Ladle the soup into individual bowls and sprinkle parsley over each serving. Pass more grated Parmesan separately.
