Stracciatella Soup

Recipe by

Stracciatella soup is a traditional Italian soup made from typically chicken broth with drizzle egg mixture and topped with lots of parsely and cheese. This is a very popular soup dish around Rome in the Lazio region of central Italy. It is very similar to the Chinese egg drop soup we find in the Chinese restaurant. Certain recipes call for pasta and other vegetables such as tomatoes etc. It is definately one of the easiest Italian recipe to make!
