Zuppa pavese is a simple northern Italian broth soup with toasted bread, egg and Parmesan. The hot broth cooks the egg right in the bowl.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 12 min

Ingredients

• vegetable stock – 4 cups
• country bread – 4 thick slices
• butter – 1 1/2 tbsp
• eggs – 4
• grated Parmesan – 2/3 cup

• black pepper – to taste
• fresh parsley, chopped – 1 tbsp

Method

1. Bring the stock to a boil and keep it gently hot.

3. Place one slice of bread in each bowl and sprinkle with Parmesan.
