Easy Stracciatella Soup
Here is a super easy version of the italian version of chicken noodle soup. It is perfect for little ones as it is not only flavourful but offers added protein (cheese & egg) and interesting textures.
Perfect for sensitive tummies.
Feel free to adjust broth amount to make a smaller amount of soup.
- 6 cups of chicken broth (if you make your own – super!) or just use the prepared boxed or canned chicken broth
- 1/2 cup orzo or other small pasta
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 Tbsps chopped fresh parsley
- pinch of each – nutmeg & pepper
Put 1/4 cup of the broth aside and place the rest of the broth in large saucepan. Bring the saucepan to a boil then stir in the dried pasta. Cook for about 6 minutes or until al dente.
In a bowl, place the 1/4 cup of the broth that you set aside and whisk in the eggs, cheese, parsley, nutmeg and pepper. Gradually pour this mixture in to the saucepan with the boiling broth. Stir constantly until eggs break into strands (approx 2-3 mins).
Serve and enjoy.
