Spinach Stracciatella Soup

This spinach stracciatella soup is a sophisticated yet simple take on the classic Italian ‘rag soup’ tradition. By poaching whisked eggs directly in a savoury broth enriched with spinach and Parmigiano-Reggiano, you create delicate, silken ribbons that add both texture and protein to every spoonful. It is a light, nourishing dish that feels wonderfully restorative during the cooler months, offering a vibrant green colour and depth of flavour from the aged Italian cheese.

Perfect as a quick midweek supper or a weekend lunch, this vegetarian-friendly recipe is remarkably efficient, using store-cupboard staples and frozen spinach for convenience. The addition of olive oil-brushed baguette provides a satisfying crunch, making it a complete meal that is as comforting as it is healthy. Serve it steaming hot with an extra grating of parmesan for the ultimate finish.

How to make Spinach Stracciatella Soup

Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 204°C.

Brush cut sides of baguette with oil. Arrange, cut sides up, on a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat water with broth, salt, and pepper in a 2- to 2 1/2-quart saucepan over moderate heat until hot. Stir in frozen spinach and cheese and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until spinach is just tender, about 8 minutes.
