Cheese, Bread, and Egg Soup image

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 4x3x1/2-inch slices country-style whole wheat or sourdough bread
1/3 cup (about) extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
2 large eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated pecorino Sardo or pecorino Romano cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
8 ounces fresh water-packed mozzarella cheese, diced

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush bread slices generously on both sides with olive oil. Place bread on baking sheet. Bake until light golden, turning once, about 5 minutes per side.
Bring broth to boil in large pot. Whisk eggs and cheese in medium bowl to blend. Gradually add egg mixture to boiling broth, stirring to form egg strands, about 1 minute. Add parsley; season with salt and pepper.
Place 2 bread slices in each of 6 soup bowls. Sprinkle with diced mozzarella cheese. Ladle soup into bowls.
