  2. Remove from heat and gently crack eggs into soup, be careful not to break eggs. Place on low heat until whites of eggs are cooked. Cool slightly before serving.

Recipe Note

This recipe is truly a family favorite. I don't know any one else that makes this. I think my father-in-law invented it. When people had little money they used whatever was at hand. My father used to say 'one will never starve if they have potatoes, onions, and a loaf of bread.' This is a typical peasant recipe that was made when times were not as affluent as they are today. Really good on a cold snowy day.
