"Stracciatella (from the Italian word stracciato meaning ragged or shredded) is a simple soup, similar to Chinese egg drop. Traditional Italian recipes call for nothing more than chicken stock, eggs, semolina, grated cheese and parsley. The beaten eggs are drizzled into hot stock creating the "shreds" (stracciatelle) of cooked egg. This adaptation, which adds fresh spinach and some pasta, is a common one, and it makes a quick and tasty meatless meal...."
