Light, delicious and lush, this egg soup is all you need for a full-fledged spring dinner.

Whisk until smooth.While the soup is boiling, pour two-thirds of the water into the pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add vinegar. Break each egg into a custard tin. Carefully pour the eggs into the pan; cook for 3 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon; place on a plate covered with a paper towel.Divide the soup into 4 plates. Place 1 egg in each bowl; drizzle evenly with oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of parsley. Serve with toast.
