Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
• 1 cup tiny pasta (such as pastina, orzo, or acini di pepe)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 2

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Once boiling, add the tiny pasta. Stir occasionally and cook according to the pasta’s package instructions, typically 7-8 minutes.

Step 4

While the pasta is cooking, crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them until fully blended.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low once the pasta is tender. Slowly drizzle the whisked eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently with a fork or whisk. This will create silky egg ribbons throughout the soup.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with extra Parmesan or parsley for presentation.
