Trim spinach, remove coarse stems, rinse and spin dry. Cut into thin strips. Add spinach to the broth and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the egg-cheese mixture to the boiling broth while stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, then ladle soup into warmed cups. Serve with toasted whole-wheat bread, if desired.

Healthy, because
Low in calories, but rich in vitamins: Especially the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E are in this soup. The daily requirement of eye vitamin A is even completely covered. It is not only important for vision, but also for wound healing, reproduction, the skin and the immune system.
Even smarter
If it is not the season for young spinach, use chopped frozen spinach. It can be added frozen to the stock, but must then simmer for a correspondingly longer time until it is defrosted and cooked.
