2. |
Bring chicken broth to a boil over medium heat. |

In a separate bowl, combine the ground lean beef, 1 egg, breadcrumbs, basil, parsley and parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly, then form into bite-size balls. |

Beat remaining egg in a small bowl and pour slowly into broth, stirring constantly with a fork. |
