The ketogenic diet and this Italian Egg drop soup called Stracciatella alla romana are a match made in heaven! Filling, delicious and super low carb with only 1.4g net carbs per serving!
Add the eggs, parmesan, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and two tbsp of cold broth into a bowl and whisk.
Add the broth to a large pot and bring it to a boil.
Turn off the heat once the broth is boiling and stir the soup in a circular motion (creating a "whirl").
Keep stirring while you slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the soup.
Whisk the soup until the eggs form "little shreds".
This soup is usually served with a piece of white bread, but you know as well as I do that we're going to skip that part.
It tastes amazing just as it is.
Buon appetito!
