Italian Egg Drop Soup

Like Stracciatelle, this Italian egg soup can serve as a light opener to spur the appetite.

Courses: Soup
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

6 cups 1422mlVegetable, chicken, veal, or beef stock
1 teaspoon 5mlDried oregano - crushed
  (or 1 tbspn fresh oregano)
2   Eggs
3 teaspoons 15mlFreshly-grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons 30mlGrated dry bread crumbs
1   Garlic clove - pressed

Recipe Instructions

Beat the eggs, cheese, bread crumbs, and garlic in a small bowl. Bring the stock to a boil, add the crushed oregano, reduce the heat, and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium, then stir the egg mixture into the stock with a long wooden spoon, so as to cause long egg strands.

Serve immediately, garnishing with fresh oregano or parsley -- or by floating a round, paper thin lemon slice on top.

Serve hot to 4 to 6 people.
