Kale and Parmesan Egg Drop Soup (Stracciatella) Recipe
- 8 ounces flat-leaf kale (about 1 bunch)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- Wash and dry the kale.
- Cut out the tough stems from the leaves and discard.
- Arrange the leaves in stacks, slice crosswise into 1/4-inch ribbons, and set aside.
- (You should have about 4 cups.)
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the kale and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high, add the broth and measured salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and continue simmering until the kale has softened but isnt mushy and the flavors have melded, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the eggs and cheese in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined; set aside.
- Increase the heat to medium, slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan, and stir to combine.
- Return to a simmer, stirring occasionally to break up any large pieces of egg.
- Remove from the heat, taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately.
