Potato Soup Italian Style

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

5 cups water

4 potatoes, peeled and quartered

salt and pepper to taste

4 eggs

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent. To the onions add water, potatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but still firm.

Remove from heat and gently crack eggs into soup; be careful not to break eggs. Place on low heat until whites of eggs are cooked. Cool slightly before serving.
