Stracciatella With Spinach image

This light, classic Roman soup may be all you want to eat for a few days after Thanksgiving. It's traditionally made with chicken stock, but why not use turkey stock instead?

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 quarts chicken or turkey stock
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 large or extra large eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons semolina
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan (1 1/2 ounces)
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, or 1 bunch spinach, stemmed, washed, dried and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the stock in a large saucepan or soup pot. Remove 1/3 cup and set aside. Bring the rest to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. If there is any visible fat, skim it away.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl, and stir in the 1/3 cup of stock, the semolina and the cheese.
  • Stir the spinach into the simmering stock, then drizzle in the egg mixture, scraping all of it in with a rubber spatula. Stir very slowly with the spatula, paddling it back and forth until the little "rags" form. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve at once.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed this soup. The cheese and nutmeg really helped to balance out the flavor of the spinach.

Overall, I thought this soup was pretty good. It was easy to make and the flavors were nice. I would probably make it again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

This soup was way too salty for me. I think I accidentally added too much salt. Next time I will be more careful with the seasoning.

I had a hard time finding stracciatella cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. The soup still turned out good, but I think it would have been better with the stracciatella.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs.
