This soup is from Italy. Ingredients:
12 cups canned low-salt chicken broth |
2 chicken breast halves with skin and bones, skin removed |
3 large carrots, peeled |
1 large onion, quartered |
1 celery stalk with leaves |
1 bay leaf |
1/3 cup farina (instant cream of wheat) |
3 large eggs |
6 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup cold water |
chopped fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
2. Remove chicken and carrots from broth. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces; discard bones. Thinly slice carrots. Discard onion, celery, and bay leaf.
3. Bring broth to boil. Gradually whisk in farina; boil until broth is very slightly thickened and smooth, whisking often, about 5 minutes. Whisk eggs, 4 tablespoons cheese, and 1/4 cup water in medium bowl; gradually pour into boiling broth, stirring constantly until small egg threads form, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and carrots to pot; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese and parsley.
