This soup did remind me of the egg drop soups you order in Chinese restaurants. It was very tasty and healthy! I loved the strips of spinach. It's a wonderful, quick and healthy soup. Thank you for posting! ~Made for the top favorites of 2009 cookbook tag game~

5+ Star Recipe! I made this for PAC Spring 2009, for my preemie, Katelynclark. This recipe places her up in the top ranks, a more than 5 star recipe! This is a thin soup, like egg drop soup at a Chinese restaurant. But with an italian bent. I wouldn't count on it serving 4 hungry men, but it is a lovely lunch soup or appetizer soup. This soup is really good!
