Indulge in the comforting and rustic flavors of Stracciatella, a classic Italian soup brimming with tender chicken or turkey meatballs, hearty vegetables, and a delicate egg drop. This delightful soup finds its origins in the Marche region of Italy and is characterized by its unique egg ribbons that elegantly dance in the flavorful broth.

STRACCIATELLA SOUP
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.

STRACCIATELLA ALLA ROMANA (ROMAN EGG DROP SOUP)
Tendrils of quickly cooked eggs, seasoned with cheese, nutmeg and pepper, float in a meaty stock in this traditional Italian soup. To avoid clumps that make the dish seem more like failed scrambled eggs than a delicate broth, pour the egg mixture into the hot stock in a thin stream, whisking as you go and promptly pulling it off the heat when done. In the dead of winter, when warmth is elusive and colds seem to be overtaking everyone, there's nothing better.

Steps:
- Set a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add oil. When it shimmers, add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium. Stirring occasionally, cook onions for 10 to 15 minutes until tender. It's fine if they start to take on a little color.
- In a large measuring cup or medium bowl with a spout, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, ½ cup grated Parmesan, nutmeg, black pepper, and a generous pinch of salt.
- When onions are tender, add Parmesan rind and stock to pot. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a strong simmer. While gently whisking soup with one hand, pour egg mixture into pot in a thin stream with the other. Once all of the egg mixture has been added, turn off the heat. Remove Parmesan rind. Taste and adjust for salt.
- Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan, black pepper, and parsley.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your soup. Look for ripe vegetables, flavorful broth, and high-quality cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the soup will be watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches, so that each one has a chance to cook through and release its flavor.
- Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings to the soup until it tastes just right.
- Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will allow the flavors to meld and develop. This will make your soup more flavorful and satisfying.
- Serve with crusty bread or a green salad: Stracciatella soup is a hearty and filling meal, but it can also be served as a starter or light lunch. Serve it with crusty bread or a green salad to round out the meal.
Conclusion:
Stracciatella soup is a delicious and easy-to-make Italian soup. It's perfect for a quick and easy meal, or for a special occasion.
