Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
While the broth is heating, whisk the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese together in a medium bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
Once the broth is simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low. Slowly pour the egg and Parmesan mixture into the broth in a thin, steady stream, stirring continuously with a fork or whisk to create delicate ribbons of cooked egg.
Add the chopped spinach to the pot and stir gently. Let the soup simmer for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
