Ingredients

6 cups chicken broth
10 ounces baby spinach chopped
3 eggs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg grated

Instructions

Boil the broth.
6 cups chicken broth
While you’re waiting for the broth to boil, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly. Add the cheese, nutmeg, and pepper and mix again.
3 eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Once the broth is boiling, add the spinach. Stir and bring back to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in a circle.
10 ounces baby spinach
While whisking, add the eggs in a stream to create a vortex – this will make long strands of eggs, like in egg drop soup.
Let it cool for a few minutes, and serve.
