Ingredients

6 cups chicken broth

2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan

2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves (or 3 tsp dried)

2 or 3 eggs, beaten

1 cup lightly packed spinach leaves, cut in thin strips

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

OPTIONAL: Pinch of crushed red pepper

Directions

Add cheese and seasonings to broth.

Bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium-low, and stir the broth in a circular motion.

Gradually drizzle the beaten eggs into the moving broth, stirring gently with a fork to form thin strands of egg, about 1 minute.

Stir in the spinach, then season the soup with salt and pepper.

Serve when spinach is slightly wilted.

Notes

Instead of fresh seasonings, ground Italian seasoning can be added

Add shredded chicken in the first step to make it a meal!
