This Italian inspired Stracciatella Soup is what my Mother would feed us when we were sick. It takes just minutes to make. You have heard a good homemade chicken soup called Jewish penicillin, well this is Italian penicillin.
Ingredients:
Two 14.5 oz cans of chicken broth or stock
1 TBLS fresh chopped parsley
6-8 fresh spinach leaves torn
1 cup pastina pasta or any other small pasta cooked according to the box directions
2 eggs, beaten
Dash of pepper
Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
Directions:
Place the broth, parsley, spinach and pepper in a sauce pot. Bring it to a boil and with a fork whisk the beaten egg into the pot. Add the cooked pasta. Serve with a sprinkle of grated cheese on top.
