This is one of those soups born as a humble dish that we can prepare today when we crave a comfort food that reminds us of the simple flavors of grandma’s kitchen.
This soup reminds me so much of my mom. She knew I liked it and often made it. A humble and simple dish but really tasty.
A recipe like this can indeed ensure a great supply of nourishment, leaving an overall sense of lightness.
Stracciatella in broth is a classic of traditional cuisine, which is also prepared for children during weaning, precisely because it nourishes fully with little.
For this recipe, you’ll need a good meat broth or a vegetable broth as you prefer.
If you opt for a vegetable broth, boil all the vegetables in pieces together, then strain the broth, adding the beaten eggs and scrambling them until they thicken.
However you choose to prepare and try this dish, taste it on cold winter evenings and you will realize the goodness of this recipe, which can be identified as a true comfort food.

Steps
Stracciatella in Broth
For this recipe, we need a good broth. Either meat broth or vegetable broth.
Strain the broth and put it in a pot. Bring it to the stove to heat.
Put the whole eggs and grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl and mix with a hand whisk so that they are completely combined.
Add a pinch of salt and nutmeg.
When the broth boils, pour the egg and Parmesan mixture into the center of the pot and stir with the hand whisk for a few seconds.
Cook for 5 minutes from when it comes back to a boil, then stir quickly again with the hand whisk to break the coagulated egg.
Your stracciatella in broth soup is ready to be served.
The density is to your taste; I like it with more broth, my husband with less.
Enjoy your meal.
Tips
I recommend consuming your stracciatella freshly made and very hot.
Bring the meat broth to a boil and pour in the mixture, whisking vigorously if you want a very fine mixture. Otherwise, stir with a spoon to get a mixture with larger pieces.
