Italian Egg Drop Soup

 

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 15 mins

Total time: 25 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts homemade chicken stock

  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas

  • 4 large organic eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced, whites and greens divided

  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

  • 3 cups chopped arugula, any tough stems removed

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine broth, chickpeas, scallion whites and nutmeg in a Dutch oven; and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium-low heat to simmer.

  2. While stirring the soup constantly, slowly whisk in eggs; cook for 2 minutes. Eggs will begin to look like feathery strands once fully cooked.

  3. Stir in ⅓ of a cup of Parmesan and the arugula and cook until arugula is wilted, about 1 minute. Turn the heat off completely and stir in the scallion greens and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with more Parmesan.
