Correct seasoning with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs until smooth with a light seasoning of salt and pepper and stir in the cheese. Remove soup from heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture to form egg "ribbons". Ladle soup into warm bowls over toast slices. Garnish with chopped herbs. This recipe yields 6 servings.
