Stracciatella alla Romano Soup (Roman Style Egg Drop)

I have never made this soup before and have seen it on several Italian restaurant menus, so I wanted to give it a try. As you can see, it is very simple, quick to make and was ready in about 20 minutes from start to finish. It was good, but I think I prefer the Chinese version better. I'm not calling this a flop by any means, it is what it is. A broth based egg soup, but for me, I think I prefer a heartier soup. You be the judge! :)
