Ravioli en Brodo "Nonna Style"

My grandmother used to make a soup that is so similar but of course as the case with most Italian grandmothers she didn't have it written down. So with some experimentation I've come up with a soup which comes pretty close. Its such a comforting soup and its perfect on cold wintery days. I serve with fresh Italian bread.

Ingredient

2 tbsp

butter

small yellow or white onion

medium peeled carrot

celery stalk

8 cup

chicken stock or broth (I prefer a more golden flavorful stock)

3 cup

water

26 oz

frozen mini ravioli

10 oz

frozen chopped spinach defrosted and squeezed dry

eggs

6 tbsp

grated parmesan cheese

1 tbsp

dried parsley

freshly cracked pepper to taste

1/2 tsp

ground nutmeg

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Chop onion, celery and carrot very small,almost minced and add to melted butter in a large stock pot. ( I save myself time and run my veggies through a food processor) Cook veggies for 5 min so they start to soften.

* Step 2

Next, add 8 cups of broth or stock and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil.

* Step 3

Once it comes to a boil, lower heat to simmer and add frozen ravioli and spinach. Simmer for 20-30 minutes.

* Step 4

In a medium bowl add eggs, grated cheese and seasoning. Beat well. After 20-30 minutes of simmering add beaten egg mixture and stir for 2 minutes.

* Step 5

With a slotted spoon add 6-8 mini raviolis to a soup bowl and ladle broth on top. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese in case someone wants more. (I don't add salt to this recipe because the fresh Parmesan cheese is salty enough)
