Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

6 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan, bring the stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; keep at a gentle simmer.

    Step 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and parsley. Using a fork, stir the stock in a quick circular motion, creating a whirlpool; pour in the egg mixture in a steady stream. Sprinkle in the cheese; season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls; garnish with parsley and cheese.
