Steps:

• Separate the two eggs, putting the yolks in with the vinegar, and the whites into a bowl.
• Blend the vinegar and egg yolks in the wine glass with a little spoon, and pour this into the soup pot, stirring. This further thickens the soup.
• Pour dry white wine into the wine glass to make it half full. Pour this into the soup pot, stirring. Medium high heat.
• Now, take a fork and fork through the egg whites in the bowl. Pour the whites into the soup pot, stirring. The whites cook in the liquid.
• Add salt and pepper to the pot.
