Italian Egg Drop Soup

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time35 minutes

Ingredients

  • - 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • - 2 large carrots finely chopped
  • - 1 small onion finely chopped
  • - 1 cup frozen spinach
  • - 1/2 cup small cut pasta I used orzo
  • - 3 eggs
  • - 4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Finely chopped carrots and onion.
  • Add tiny bit of oil or cooking spray to your pot ( just so the veggies don't stick) and heat pot on a medium-high heat. Add carrots and onions and saute for 2-3 mins.
  • Next add 5.5 cups of the broth and the cup of spinach. Bring to a boil.
  • Once a boil has begun, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add pasta to the soup and cook according to the package directions.
  • Whisk together the eggs and remaining 1/2 cup broth.
  • Bring the soup to a boil. Stir in the egg mixture, stirring constantly. The egg should form fine strands. (some of my egg formed strands... but not all of it. still tasted great :)
  • Top each bowl with 1 tbsp parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
