\n\u00a0Anticipating my Christmas in Italy this year and planning my menu…I am reflecting\u00a0 (for lack of a better word)on(what will be) a \u00a0continuing 24 hour meal, from Christmas Eve to the end of Christmas Day. One feels as though they have just finished one meal and soon\u00a0 starts another without a pause in between.\u00a0 Christmas Day dinner ,which is usually eaten around 1 or 2 pm begins with a light soup. Although I know this soup as\u00a0 Stracciatella- different regions have their own names for this dish as well as their own variations. This is a welcome\u00a0 dish to start a meal on a cold, blustery day. This year, in many parts of the World, Christmas Day should be\u00a0 a \u00a0snowy one..and\u00a0\u00a0 this soup\u00a0(an Italian comfort food)\u00a0always a ‘comfort food’ )adds to the warmth of the Holiday season..
\nStracciatella Soup<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis soup serves 4-6<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\n*4 egg yolks<\/strong>
\n*\u00bc cup freshly grated Parmigiana-Reggiano cheese<\/strong>
\n*\u00bd cup homemade breadcrumbs (no spices added)<\/strong>
\n*pinch of salt<\/strong>
\n*pinch of nutmeg<\/strong>
\n*grated zest of one lemon<\/strong>
\n8 cups chicken broth (can also use vegetable broth for vegetarians). Homemade broth is always best. (Check out The Basic Art of Italian Cooking: Holidays & Special Occasions-2nd edition<\/a>–\u00a0for a recipes for Homemade Broth)<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nBlend together in a bowl the first 6 ingredients. Work them until they are well blended and a form mixture is formed. Simmer broth in a large pot. When broth is simmering whisk in egg yolk mixture with a wire whisk. Simmer for 4 minutes and serve immediately with freshly grated parmigiana-reggiano cheese and finely chopped parsley\u00a0on top.<\/strong>
