Ingredients:
Chicken broth
Meat of 2 chickens
Yellow food colouring
6-12 eggs
1-2 cups grated Romano cheese
1-2 packages thawed chopped spinach
Acini de pepe noodles
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Put broth and chicken in large pot on stove. Bring to boil. Add a few drops of yellow food colouring to give broth a “pretty” colour. In a bowl, beat 6 eggs by hand then add 1 cup grated cheese and 1 package spinach to eggs. Stir together and slowly pour into chicken broth. (Repeat eggs, cheese and spinach if needed). Add acini de pepe noodles until soup is thick enough (be careful, these noodles are small but puff up quickly and take in a lot of the broth. Add noodles a bit at a time, waiting 10-15 minutes between each addition to see how much broth is used up). Salt and pepper to taste.
