• Add the broccoli and simmer uncovered for another 5 to 8 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.
• Taste the soup and adjust seasonings, making sure that you have added enough salt (the flavors should be vivid). Beat the eggs in a bowl.

Stir in the parsley and serve, topping each bowl with grated Parmesan.
