Method 6 steps
Put the broth in a large pot, and bring to a boil.
Separately, combine eggs, cheese, and parsley, and beat until the cheese and parsley are moistened.
Once the broth is at a rolling boil, use a whisk to set the fluid whirling.
Slowly add the egg mixture, keeping the broth at a boil so the egg cooks quickly.
Remove from heat, and add pepper.
Serve immediately, or reheat and serve very hot.
