The Perfect Pasta Soup

~ Clarissa

I can still eat my favorite pasta soup because its most important ingredient isn’t pasta. It’s the raw egg. With a lot of parsley and young carrots, it’s amazing.

Who else puts raw egg into pasta soup?

  1. A raw egg in a soup is pretty common? Spanish, Italian, German, Vietnamese, Chinese……just lots and lots of cultures do this. Is this a recipe you made up?

          1. btw you can and should skip the flour, its only purpose in the recipe is covering up for poor cream

          2. Yes, it’s traditional in Ukraine to add egg to pasta soup. The one I do is different because I put the egg in raw, not during cooking, but to actually eat it. After it’s cooked and you pour it, then you add the raw egg.

      2. I remember vividly the first time I encountered this one. I’d been awake, and fairly ill, for about 36 hours. It was Da Nang, it was summer, it was dreadfully hot, but we’d reached the less-hot evening hours. My friends dragged me into a cafe and ordered a huge bowl of noodle soup– not pho. Ramen, I think. Just before they handed the bowl over to us the gal at the counter cracked an egg on top of it. I kind of stared at it in a not-quite-hallucinating-yet way, and the teenage girl with us reached over and stirred the egg in with my chopsticks.

        Ate. Crashed out at the house in the fish market. I’m not sure I even remember going to bed, but I woke up on an air mattress next to three young ladies I’d never met before, under a huge mosquito net, and spent about ten minutes trying to crawl out of the corner and disentangle myself without waking them. I think they worked the night shift at the fish processor.

        Anyway, yeah. Eggs. On soup. And I think I got it because I was so fagged: nobody else got one. Bolstering or something. They were looking after my health.

    1. Related to this AI slop, it then spawned five million narratives repeating it verbatim on all sorts of Twitter accounts. You immediately know who’s a clinical idiot when you see them.
