Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 6 ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.

Remove chicken and carrots from broth. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces; discard bones. Thinly slice carrots. Discard onion, celery, and bay leaf.

Bring broth to boil. Gradually whisk in farina; boil until broth is very slightly thickened and smooth, whisking often, about 5 minutes.

Whisk eggs, 4 tablespoons cheese, and 1/4 cup water in medium bowl; gradually pour into boiling broth, stirring constantly until small egg threads form, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and carrots to pot; simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Season soup with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese and parsley.
