This lovely stracciatella soup is a perfect example. Sometimes called Italian egg drop soup, it&#8217;s a quick and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/30-soup-recipes-ready-in-30-minutes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/30-soup-recipes-ready-in-30-minutes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">easy soup recipe<\/a> made with just a few kitchen staples: chicken stock, eggs, Parmesan cheese and seasonings. This soul-warming soup is terrific when you feel a cold coming on or when you need a quick meal on a cold day. Savory and soothing, you can feel generations of Nonnas behind every sip.<\/p>\n<h2>What is stracciatella?<\/h2>\n<p>The word stracciatella refers to three very different foods in Italy. Derived from <em>straccetti<\/em>, which means &#8220;little rags,&#8221; it describes dishes that feature bits of one ingredient strewn within another. For instance, stracciatella cheese is pieces of stretched and torn mozzarella blended with heavy cream. Stracciatella ice cream has strands of chocolate drizzled over it, then stirred into the base. And the stracciatella soup recipe involves stirring beaten eggs and cheese into hot chicken broth, which turns the eggs into &#8220;rags&#8221; or ribbons.<\/p>\n<p>Stracciatella is similar to Chinese egg drop soup, but there are a few key differences. The Italian soup includes cheese, while the Chinese soup does not. The Chinese version is also thickened slightly with cornstarch, which gives it a velvety mouthfeel. Lastly, the seasonings are different: nutmeg, salt and black pepper for stracciatella; salt, white pepper and sesame oil for egg drop soup.<\/p>\n<h2>Stracciatella Soup Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chicken stock:<\/strong> Because this recipe has so few ingredients, you&#8217;ll want to make it with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-chicken-broth-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-chicken-broth-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best chicken broth brand<\/a> that you can get your hands on.

Don&#8217;t eat meat? A veggie broth will work just fine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add some green:<\/strong> Just before breaking up the cooked egg, add some baby spinach or shredded Swiss chard and let it wilt for a moment before proceeding. You can also garnish the soup with fresh parsley.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tweak the seasonings:<\/strong> If you&#8217;d like a bit more complexity, add some grated lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon for zing, or a small amount of chili flake for some spice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it starchy:<\/strong> For a heartier meal, spoon the stracciatella soup onto cooked petite pasta, such as stelline or orzo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Stracciatella Soup<\/h2>\n<p>Because this soup is so quick to put together, and because the egg threads are delicate, we recommend making just the amount you wish to eat (it&#8217;s perfectly fine to halve the recipe). However, if you do find yourself with leftovers, store them in an airtight glass container or a screw-top jar. The soup will last up to four days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat stracciatella soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Gentle is the name of the game here.
