Stracciatelli Soup With Tiny Meatballs image

The name of the soup is Italian for "shreds" or "rags", which is what the eggs look like after they are drizzled into the soup. The meatballs are dropped into the simmering soup, no need to brown first. Note: You can substitute 1- 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, for the fresh spinach if you wish.
