Let the soup slowly warm up till it starts to gently boil. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 60 minutes, using a strainer 3 or 4 times to remove the brownish broth from the surface of the soup.
While the soup is gently simmering you can prepare theGreen Eierstich
After 1 hour add the bay leaf, clove, garlic, nutmeg to the pot and let everything simmer for another 45 minutes
Now remove Meat, bones and soup vegetables from the pot
Separate the meat from the bones and place it back into the soup.
Next add the Green Eierstich
Add 1/2 cup of soup pasta to the soup (optional)
Let the soup gently simmer for another 10 minutes
Add a little parsley and some of the diced carrot to the clear meat broth soup just before you want to serve it.
