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