Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Vegetable stock
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Baby spinach, finely chopped
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring the vegetable stock to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped baby spinach and let it wilt in the simmering broth for about 1 minute.
While the broth is simmering, crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them lightly with the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the simmering broth, stirring gently with a fork or whisk to create delicate ribbons (stracciatella) as the eggs cook.
Let the soup simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are fully cooked and distribute evenly in the broth.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt or black pepper.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired.
