Ingredients
 

  • 1.5 litres chicken broth or stock
  • 3 tablespoons semolina
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 3 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat, bring the chicken stock to a gentle boil. If the stock is unsalted, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Taste the broth and adjust salt and pepper. Do not boil the broth - just simmer.
  • Whisk the eggs, parsley, semolina, grated parmesan and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until well blended together.
  • While stirring the simmering broth, slowly pour egg mixture into the broth. Bring the broth back up to a simmer. The soup will be cloudy at first but it will clear as the broth heats up again.
  • Add the baby spinach into the soup and mix to wilt. Ladle into bowls and serve.
