One of the best-known Italian soups, stracciatella, calls for beating together eggs and grated Parmesan and dropping the mixture into hot broth, where it forms raglike shapes (stracciatelle means "little rags"). In this kosher version, the cheese is omitted because of the use of chicken broth. Matzoh meal adds body that would normally come from cheese.
