Total Calories: 178

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 ribs celery, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound assorted mushrooms, such as button, shiitake and cremini, trimmed and sliced
1 pound fresh plum tomato, peeled and seeded, and chopped or 2 cups canned tomatoes
pinch of crushed red pepper
6 eggs
6 slices Italian or French bread, toasted
4 to 6 tablespoons grated pecorino cheese

Directions:

1 Pour the oil into a medium pot. Add the celery and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

2 Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushroom juices evaporate. Add the tomatoes and the crushed red pepper and cook 20 minutes.

3 Add 4 cups water and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer. Cook 20 minutes more.

4 Just before serving, break one of the eggs into a cup. Carefully slip the egg into the hot soup. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cover and cook over very low heat 3 minutes or until the eggs are done to taste.

5 Place a slice of toast in each serving bowl. Carefully ladle an egg on top and spoon on the hot soup. Sprinkle with the cheese and serve immediately.
