If you’ve ever searched for Italian egg drop soup, chances are you were actually looking for Stracciatella alla Romana — a traditional Italian soup made with hot broth, eggs, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano that form delicate “little shreds” as they cook.
The Italian word stracciatella literally means little shreds, referring to the soft strands of egg that form when the egg mixture is gently stirred into simmering stock.
This classic Italian soup is often described as the Italian version of egg drop soup, and while it shares similarities with traditional egg drop soup, it has its own rich history and distinctly Italian flavor profile.
This is one of the easiest soups you can make, yet it feels elegant enough for a holiday meal, special occasion, or light lunch any time of year.
