A comforting and quick Italian egg drop soup, Stracciatella, meaning 'little rags' or 'shreds,' offers solace in every spoonful. This light yet flavorful soup, enriched with cheese and aromatic spices, is the perfect remedy for a weary soul. Imagine each strand as a tiny shred of worry, dissolving into the warm broth with every bite.
In a pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over high heat. (5 minutes)
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. (1 minute)
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated Pecorino Romano, chopped fresh parsley, semolina flour, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg until thoroughly combined. (3 minutes)
While continuously stirring the simmering broth, slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot. (2 minutes)
Continue to simmer until the liquid clears slightly. (2 minutes)
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of red pepper flakes. (1 minute)
