Stracciatella, Italian Egg-Drop Soup

Adapted from Eating Well's Italian Egg-Drop Soup

Ingredients
7.5 c. water
0.5 c. dry white wine
6 t. chicken bullion paste
2 c. water
1 1/3 c. medium pasta shells or other small pasta (4 ounces)
1/2 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
1 bunch scallions, sliced, whites and greens divided
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

3 c. chopped arugula or other greens, any tough stems removed
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 egg whites
2 T. lemon juice
6 T. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Sprinkle ghost chili flakes, to taste

Directions 
Combine wine, water, bullion, pasta, chickpeas, scallion whites, and nutmeg in a Dutch oven; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover and boil for half as long as directed by the pasta package, 3 to 5 minutes. 

Stir in greens and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. While stirring the soup constantly, slowly add eggs; cook for 2 minutes. (The cooked egg will look like feathery strands.) Season with pepper and stir in the scallion greens and lemon juice. Ladle into 6 bowls and top with Parmesan.
