La Stracciatella Soup

Only 4 ingredients and ready in 10 minutes. This Italian Egg Drop Soup is delicious, filling and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. Stracciatella Soup announces the coming on spring with delicious ingredients.

 Imagine getting dinner on the table in 10 minutes or less? This is my go-to soup when I am tired and do not want to cook. The flavor is incredible and you can add/subtract to fit your personal taste.

Stracciatella is a traditional soup made in Rome, Italy usually on Easter and it served as an inspiration for the famous Gelato that bears the same name. As you can imagine, there are 1000 variations to this soup but I decided to stick to the basics and then build from there.

Stracciatella Soup has only 4 ingredients: eggs, spinach, parmesan cheese, and stock. That’s it.

If you want to be adventurous you can add lemon juice, zest, nutmeg, semolina, kale, etc. the possibilities are endless. To me, this humble soup is a masterpiece. It’s light, delicious and satisfying.

I serve my Stracciatella Soup with a big piece of bread so it can soak up the goodness. If you can find those loaves of bread that are crusty on the outside, it will be perfect. In Miami, those kinds of bread are hard to find and they are my favorite ones.

I love how the spinach wilts inside the soup as it cooks. It creates a silky texture with lots of flavors. The egg is so light and fluffy and the Parmesan just rounds everything off and gives it a salty taste that lingers.

Next time I will add a hint of spice by adding a chili pepper just to give it an extra dimension. I will surely share other variations on the coming weeks. Meanwhile, enjoy the tastes and aromas of a freshly made Stracciatella Soup.

Hope you can make this Stracciatella Soup at home. If you do, please tag me on Instagram @livingsweetmoments and/or use the hashtag #LivingSweet

    in a true stracciatella soup the eggs and cheese are whisked together and then slowly poured into the broth while still whisking the eggs. Hold bowl in one hand slowly pour and whisk with the fork while adding to broth. It is a very good soup.!

    The proportions are wrong. 4 cups is not enough liquid for 6 eggs. I doubled, adding 8 cups and still seemed low in comparison to the egg.

      You are correct Stacy. I apologize. It should have been 4 eggs instead of 6. I will correct the recipe in the box. My rule of thumb is 1 cup of liquid per egg per person.

    lots* of flavor. “Lot’s” is possessive, which is incorrect here.
