Spinach Soup With Egg Strips Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-low heat. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 tablespoon water until combined. Add eggs to pan and cook, pulling eggs in from edges as they set, until center is just set, about 3 minutes. Turn out onto a plate. When cool enough to handle, halve, then cut each half into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
• In the same pan, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broth, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and the ginger. Bring to a boil. Add the spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted and is tender, but not mushy, about 3 minutes. Stir in the egg strips. Remove from heat; correct seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.

Steps:

• Cook spinach in hot bouillon for 10 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Melt butter and stir in flower. When blended and smooth, add hot liquid, a little at a time, stirring until smooth. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Add spinach, salt, pepper and nutmeg and mix thoroughly. Simmer covered for 5 minutes. Serve with hard-cooked egg slices floating on top of each bowl of soup.

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Lower the eggs into the water, and reduce the heat to keep the water at a gentle boil for 10 minutes. Drain the water, and put the eggs back in the pot, shaking them against the sides to crack the shells. Add enough cool water and ice to cover the eggs, and cool them completely.
• Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan, and add the pasta and, if needed, the salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Cut the spinach coarsely, and add it to the saucepan. Bring the mixture back to a boil, reduce the heat to low and boil gently for 2 minutes. Stir in the pepper.
• Shell the eggs, and cut them into 1/4-inch pieces. Divide them among six soup bowls, and ladle the hot soup on top. Serve immediately.
