A light and refreshing Italian egg drop soup, infused with lemon and spinach. The Parmesan cheese adds a rich, savory flavor.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
While the broth is heating, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until well combined.
Once the broth is simmering, slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the broth in a thin stream, whisking constantly to create the 'stracciatella' or ragged egg effect.
Add the spinach to the soup and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
Stir in the lemon juice and zest. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Be sure to whisk constantly while adding the egg mixture to prevent the eggs from clumping together too much.
Don't overcook the spinach, as it can become mushy.
Serve with crusty Italian bread for dipping.
