Preparation:
Prepare the meat broth:
Peel the onion and carrot. Wedge the carrot. Place the onion, carrot and celery stalk in the water. Add the meat and season with salt. Gently simmer for 2 hours and then strain.
Prepare the batter:
Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Whisk in the flour.  Add 2/3 of the water and mix well. Add enough of the remaining water to make a very thin batter of pouring consistency. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
GREASE a skillet with olive oil and heat over high heat.



Use a medium-size ladle to pour in the batter, tilting the pan making sure it is COATED with batter.



Fry the crepe until it is set. LIFT the edge with a fork and turn it over.



Fry on both sides until set. Continue to make the crepes until all the batter is used. Transfer the crepes to a dish. Sprinkle them with cheese. ROLL the crepes and place them in a soup bowl.



Break them with your fingers, if necessary, to make them fit. Place 3-4 pieces in each bowl. Ladle the broth over the crepes and sprinkle them with grated cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes: This dish is synonymous with Abruzzo  and is one of the region's traditional dishes.
