Stracciatella Soup- enough for 2 giant bowls

In my family this was called 'sick soup' not because it looked like sick (thought I should point that out!) but because it's a light broth type soup.

Stracciatella soup is an italian egg drop soup;

1 egg

little pasta shapes I think commonly star shaped in UK (think very little) or pasta broken into little tiny pieces- only a little handful

2 chicken (or veg for vegetarian) stock cubes

Make up the stock as directed and set on the stove, cook the pasta in the stock, meanwhile whisk your egg.

Once the pasta is cooked set the stock on a rolling boil and using a fork to whisk the egg into the stock/ pasta slowly pour the egg into the saucepan whisking the stock the whole time. Turn off heat and eat.

For more syns my nona adds some grated parmesan and breadcrumbs to the egg before adding it to the soup- just syn as much as you use.
