How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Bring the chicken broth

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

  2. Whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and nutmeg together

    While the broth heats, whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and nutmeg together in a small bowl until well combined.

  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low

    Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer. Using a whisk or fork, stir the broth in a circular motion to create a gentle vortex. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the broth while continuing to stir gently.

  4. Let the soup simmer

    Let the soup simmer for 1-2 minutes without stirring too vigorously, allowing the egg to set into small flakes or 'rags'.

  5. Season with salt and black pepper

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle into warm bowls and serve immediately.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best flavor, use a high-quality homemade chicken stock. Ensure the broth is at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, when adding the egg mixture to achieve the perfect texture.

Make it ahead

Best served fresh as the egg texture changes upon reheating.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently over low heat on the stovetop. Avoid boiling during reheating to keep the egg 'rags' tender.
