Maritata Recipe
Ingredients
6 cups hot rich meat broth (all chicken, all beef, or combination of these, freshly made or canned)
2 ounces (1/8 of a 1-lb. package) vermicelli noodles
1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) soft sweet (unsalted) butter
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
Directions
Bring broth to boiling over direct heat (on a range top or over a denatured alcohol flame).
Add vermicelli noodles (broken, if desired) and cook, uncovered, for 5 to 8 minutes or until noodles are tender to bite.
In a bowl blend the sweet butter with cheese and egg yolks, then gradually beat in the cream. (If you cook at the table, prepare this mixture in the kitchen.) Spoon a small amount of the hot broth into the cream mixture, stirring constantly, then pour this mixture back into the hot broth, stirring constantly.
Extinguish heat, if using a chafing dish, or remove from the heat.
Ladle the soup into bowls, including some of the vermicelli.
