Made from just three main ingredients—chicken broth, eggs and Parmesan—stracciatella soup is a quick and comforting Italian classic.

Ingredients

• 6 cups chicken stock
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

1. In a large saucepan or stock pot, bring stock to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and 3/4 cup Parmesan. Gently pour into broth, stir once or twice. Simmer until eggs float to the top, 3-4 minutes. Gently break apart into clumps.
3. Serve soup in bowls; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
