Called stracciatella in Italian, this light and simple chicken noodle soup with threads of egg and cheese is perfect for a sensitive tummy. Serve with more cheese to sprinkle over top if desired.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Homemade Chicken Broth recipe
  • 1/2 cup orzo, or other small pasta
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch white pepper or pepper

Preparation

Reserve 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the broth. In large saucepan, bring remaining broth to boil. Stir in orzo; cook for 6 minutes or until al dente, or tender but firm.
