Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups fresh spinach
3 large Eggland's Best eggs
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for garnish, if desired)
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lemon, zest and juice

Steps:

  • Chop fresh spinach and set aside.
  • Whisk eggs, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese together and set aside.
  • Bring chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic to a boil; add chopped spinach and mix to incorporate.
  • When broth is boiling, add eggs in a steady, slow stream, whisking broth rapidly to break eggs up as they are incorporated into the broth.
  • When all eggs are blended with broth, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately; garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
  • Tip
  • Add egg noodles or fettuccini to this traditional soup for a hearty meal. Instead of spinach, you can also use other leafy green vegetables, like kale or swiss chard.
