zuppa-della-salute

Photo by: Joseph De Leo

This nourishing soup practically makes itself. It is perfect for those times when one feels slightly under the weather and hasn’t the energy to spend on cooking.

Yield : 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Sea salt
  • About 1 pound very small spinach leaves, well washed
  • 2 to 3 large eggs, lightly beaten with a fork
  • 4 thick slices day-old bread, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil
  • Freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese

Directions

Bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the spinach.

Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the spinach is bright green and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste for salt and add more as needed. Remember that the pecorino is salty.

Remove from heat and pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin stream, whisking constantly. The eggs will form strands.

Place the bread slices in shallow soup bowls. Ladle the soup over the top and sprinkle with pecorino. Let rest a moment before serving so the bread can absorb some broth.
