STRACCIATELLA SOUP



Stracciatella Soup image

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)



Stracciatella alla Romana (Roman Egg Drop Soup) image

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.

Time 25m

Yield About 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, diced
Kosher salt
6 large eggs
1/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan, rind reserved, plus more for serving
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
8 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

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.

WEDDING SOUP WITH STRACCIATELLA



Wedding Soup With Stracciatella image

A marriage made in heaven! I love Italian wedding soup, and I love Stracciatella, so when I found this recipe at "The Food of Love", it was love at first sight--or, rather, love at first bite! This is great comfort food. You can make the meatballs with ground chicken or beef or turkey or sausage. For the greens you can use either spinach or escarole. And, for the pasta you can use either acine de pepe -or- orzo. Recipe makes enough to serve 2-3 people, but is easily doubled or even tripled.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 slice white bread, crust removed
1/4 cup milk
garlic clove, minced
6 ounces ground turkey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, minced
salt and pepper
4 cups chicken broth
2 ounces orzo pasta
1/2 bunch fresh Baby Spinach
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons grated parmigiano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Make the Meatballs:.
  • Place the bread in a bowl and pour the milk over it. Let it soak for 5 minutes.
  • While the bread soaks, saute the garlic in the olive oil until translucent.
  • Add the garlic in oil, the ground turkey, the egg yolk, the parsley, and salt and pepper to the bowl. Use a fork to gently mix together--the less you handle the meat, the lighter the meatballs will be.
  • Divide mixture into 12 equal parts and form into balls.
  • Bring broth to a simmer and gently drop in the meatballs. Simmer 5-10 minutes, just until cooked through. Remove from the broth with a slotted spoon and set aside; keep warm.
  • Make the Soup:.
  • Return the broth to a boil and add the orzo. Cook for 10 minutes.
  • When orzo is almost done, add the spinach and return the meatballs to the soup. Add parsley.
  • For the Stracciatella:.
  • Break the egg into a small bowl, add the water, and stir briefly. Stir in the grated parmigiano cheese.
  • Quickly stir the soup, then drizzle in this egg-cheese mixture slowly so that the heat of the soup will quickly form the mixture into cooked strands.
  • To Serve:.
  • Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into warmed bowls and serve immediately.

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different variations of the soup, such as using different types of cheese or vegetables.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-shredded cheese or store-bought chicken broth.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream on hand, you can substitute milk or half-and-half.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
