Try saying that 3 times in a row! This one I just had to name after my mother, because she made it for me every time I had a cold. Stracciatella is best described as an Italian egg drop soup. It takes only minutes to make and is naturally low carb. Ciao down, bella!

This was an amazing soup and my whole family loved it!!! I added a bit of chicken along with spinach…this is a keeper and will be added to our rotation!!
I love straciatella. I tried this recipe but with a twist: My boyfriend wanted to add some small pieces of fresh chicken to the broth and we did. When the soup was ready, I turned off the heat and added spinach leaves on top right before serving to soften them a little. I served the straciatella with the spinach leaves on top and grated some fresh parmesan cheese and top of the leaves. (This is how they serve it in an Italian restaurant I love). The outcome was wonderful: light, tasty and comforting. It is certainly one of our favorite soups!
Made this soup for the first time. It was very good. But, since my wife and I are on diets, I tried it with EGG WHITES. Just as good (my opinion) if not better. Give it a try. I think you will LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a simple, quick, and delicious soup to prepare the palate.
Great soup to make with what you have on hand. Also a great way to fit more eggs into your diet. Will make this a staple in my diet.
SOUNDS GOOD FOR EGG DROP SOUP
This is a nice variation of egg drop soup..the cheese gives it great flavor.
This was horrible. This is taking low carb a little beyone what is acceptable.
Recipe looks great. However, on the show he used 6 eggs to 6 cups of chicken stock. The way the recipe is written is 3 eggs to 6 cups chicken stock which I think is a mistake.
This is a good side kick for a jazzed up grilled cheese sandwuch or on a nice chilly day with crackers.
