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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 cups homemade chicken broth
