Zuppa Dorata (Golden Soup)
This soup gets its golden colour from the saffron threads, which are used throughout Italy to provide a slight lemony flavour and gorgeous orange hue.
Ingredients
| Vegetable stock/Chicken stock | 6 Cup (96 tbs) | |
| Saffron threads | 1 Teaspoon | |
| Butter | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Angel hair pasta | 4 Ounce | |
| Eggs | 2 | |
| Whipping cream | 1/2 Cup (8 tbs) | |
| Chopped fresh italian parsley | 2 Tablespoon |
Directions
Making
In saucepan, bring vegetable stock and saffron threads to boil. Reduce heat to simmer and add butter. Stir until melted.
Meanwhile, break pasta into about 1-inch (5 cm) pieces and add to stock.
Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
In small bowl, whisk together eggs, cream and parsley.
Gently pour mixture into stock, stirring constantly and cook for about 4 minutes or until set and thickened.
Serving
Sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan before serving.
Tip:
Look for other thin soup pasta noodles like Fedelini Tagliati or Filimi all’uovo.
