Stracciatella (Italian Roman Soup)

Stracciatella is a traditional roman style soup. It’s simplicity in preparation and flavor makes it a perfect beginning to any meal.

In this recipe I added chicken. Traditionally it’s just a broth with egg and Parmesan cheese.

Besides the chicken I will sometimes add fresh baby spinach.

The fun part of making this dish is swirling in the egg.

Sracciatella takes around 15 minutes to prepare and is definitely a family favorite.
