Stracciatella Soup is a delightful Italian dish that brings warmth and comfort to any meal. It features a rich base of reduced-sodium chicken broth, ensuring a flavorful yet light experience.

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a creamy, savory note, while chopped flat-leaf parsley and basil infuse the soup with vibrant herbal flavors.

It’s a versatile dish, ideal for both a cozy dinner and a sophisticated lunch, making it a beloved choice for many. Served warm in a bowl, Stracciatella Soup not only nourishes the body but also delights the senses with its aromatic blend of ingredients, offering a taste of Italy in every spoonful.
