Stracciatella Soup with Kale and Lemon image

Eggs are the key ingredient in this quick and easy soup inspired by the Italian classic. The whites are poured in first and cooked in chicken broth until set, while the yolks are stirred in off the heat, lending the soup a rich texture.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 ounces kale, stems and center ribs discarded, thinly sliced (4 packed cups)
4 large eggs, separated
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano, pecorino, or Grana Padano, grated (1/3 cup), plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Crusty bread and butter, for serving

Steps:

  • In a pot, bring broth to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in kale; reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Reduce heat to low; slowly pour egg whites into center of pot and cook, undisturbed, until just set, about 45 seconds. Gently stir until whites are evenly distributed throughout soup. Remove from heat. Beat egg yolks; stir into soup with cheese, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; serve with bread and butter.

This soup was a disaster! The cheese curdled and the broth was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found the kale to be a bit too bitter. I would use less kale next time.

I'm not a huge fan of kale, but I really enjoyed this soup. The lemon and cheese balanced out the bitterness of the kale perfectly.

This stracciatella soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and the kale and lemon added a nice brightness. The stracciatella cheese melted perfectly and added a creamy texture. I will definitely be making this soup again.
