Stracciatella soup, also known as Roman Rag Soup, has originated from Rome and has a long history of being a comforting and satisfying meal. Its name is derived from the word “stracciato,” which means “torn apart” in Italian. The soup is made of chicken and beef stocks, eggs, semolina, parmesan cheese, and lemon zest. The end-result is a filling, wholesome, warm soup that is sure to leave you feeling satisfied.

Instructions

1.	Pour chicken stock and beef stock into a pot and bring it to a boil. Season it with salt and pepper.
2.	Whisk semolina, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add beaten eggs to it and whisk it further.
3.	Lower the heat of the pot to a simmer. Now, gradually pour the egg mixture into the pot and use a spatula to stir. The soup will have egg ribbons.
