Stracciatella soup is a traditional Italian dish that translates to 'little shreds' in English. The soup is a popular first course in central Italy and is often served during the winter months to warm the body and comfort the soul. The soup is light and flavorful, with the egg ribbons adding a unique texture and taste to the dish. This dish is usually made with simple ingredients found in most kitchens and can be modified to suit individual tastes with additional herbs or spices.

Instructions

1.	Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot.
2.	Add spinach and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
3.	In a small bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and parmesan cheese.
4.	Pour the egg mixture into the pot, stirring constantly with a fork to form egg ribbons.
5.	Reduce heat to low and add white balsamic vinegar, chopped parsley, and black pepper.
6.	Simmer gently for about a minute until the egg is fully cooked.

PROS

CONS

The soup may be quite bland for some people, so additional seasoning may be needed to suit personal taste.

It is important to constantly stir the egg mixture as it is poured into the soup to ensure it forms ribbons and not a scrambled egg texture.
