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.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups chicken broth
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons semolina flour
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
½ ounce grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
½ ounce grated pecorino Romano cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a simmer in a pot over high heat. Taste broth and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  • Whisk eggs, parsley, semolina flour, grated Parmigiano Reggiano and pecorino Romano cheeses, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg together in a bowl until well blended.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover carrots, celery, and onions, and they worked perfectly in this soup. The soup was very flavorful and satisfying.
