Roman Egg Drop Soup image

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.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 cups homemade chicken broth
Salt
6 large eggs
Nutmeg, for grating
Zest of 1 lemon, grated
Freshly ground black pepper

2 to 3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

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.
