    Instructions

    Step 1: Make the Croutons

    • In a non-stick pan on medium heat, melt the salted butter.

    • Remove the crust from the slices of bread and slice the remaining bread into 1cm cubes.

    • Add the bread to the pan and cook until golden brown. Toss/stir often to ensure even browning.

    • Remove the browned croutons and place on paper towels to drain of excess oil.

    Step 2: Make the Chicken Stock

    • Place raw chicken bones in a pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then discard the water and rinse the bones under cold water.

    • In a clean large pot, combine the rinsed bones with cold water and slowly bring to a gentle simmer.

    • Skim off any foam and impurities that rise to the surface.

    • Add peeled onion, carrots, celery, bay leaf, peppercorns, and parsley stems.

    • Maintain a very gentle simmer (never boiling) for 3–4 hours, skimming occasionally. Do not stir.

    • Strain carefully through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to ensure clarity. Cool and reserve half of the soup. (The rest can be frozen).

    Step 3: Make the Stracciatella

    • Bring 750ml of the clear chicken stock to a gentle simmer in a small pot.

    • Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

    • In a bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites until frothy.

    • While stirring the stock in a circular motion, slowly drizzle in the egg white mixture. Cook gently until soft ribbons form - about 30 seconds.

    • Stir in the finely sliced parsley leaves and grated Emborg Italian Style.

    • Turn off the heat.

    • Ladle into bowls and serve hot with croutons, a little extra grated Emborg Italian Style, parsley, and cracked pepper on top if desired.
