Recipe for French farmhouse soup

Serves 4

The sparest versions of this soup are chicken broth, eggs, and a sprinkle of hard cheese. Long, thin pasta in the broth with the egg gives the bowl more heft. Use cheese or parsley as the garnish.

Comments

Sounds good, but surely, wouldn't it be simpler to cook the pasta in the stock?
