SWISS CHARD STRACCIATELLA SOUP






























6 cups low-sodium chicken broth


3 garlic cloves, minced


1 pound (6-8 stems with leaves) Swiss chard, very thinly sliced


2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving


2 large eggs, beaten


Salt and pepper, to taste





Combine broth and garlic in a large saucepan and bring to a boil


over medium-high heat. Add the chard, cover, reduce the heat to


medium, and cook until the chard is tender, about 8 minutes.


Stir in the Parmesan and simmer for 1 minute. Beat the eggs in


a small bowl. Bring the soup to a boil. With a fork, gradually stir


the eggs into the soup. Cook briefly, stirring constantly with a


fork until threads appear, less than 1 minute. Season with salt,


pepper, and Parmesan.
