I don't have another pot to use now- can I just throw in eggs to hard boil along with the soup?

I think the egg’s shell is considered slightly chometz. We always use a special egg pot.

I wouldn’t put a whole egg in a soup.

Maybe you have a different minhag

You can bake them in muffin tins, no water needed.

If the eggshells are chometz (how exactly?) then you can't have them in your house in your possession on Pesach.

OP, I guess it's a but late, but maybe boil the eggs first and then use your one pot for soup?

There is something to this. There is a thought that chometz could get on/into the eggs and so we have the custom to buy them all before Pesach begins and any trace of chometz that might be on/in them is then nulified before Pesach.

We don't hold by using a separate pot though. Curious, or the poster who says she does... what about baking? Kugels? There is egg in so many of our pesach recipes.

Only the eggshells are considered problematic. We use eggs in everything but when making hardboiled eggs we use a designated pot.

Some people wash the outside of the eggs before cracking them to use. I don’t.
Probably the same people that peel all vegetables and fruits would also be careful about egg shells.

We only eat peeled produce and I never heard egg shells being a problem. I put it in my chalont. But I'll ask DH about eggshells.

Call me a stupid balat tshuva but isn’t chametz we can’t see covered under the nullification of chametz? This is why coffee beans and Stam milk don’t have to be klp as long as purchased before pesach, before nullifying the chametz. I would have no issue cooking eggs I owned prior to bc. And if I had to buy during, I’d wash them. They’re also cold. Not to slag anyone’s minhag, but I can’t imagine it being an actually halachic issue. Of course, ask your own rabbi if you think it’s a problem.

I can’t believe no one suggested what I always do.
I boil hard boiled eggs in a disposable aluminum pan. Loaf pans work the best.

I also boil my eggs in tin pan but always double up as they can burn a hole
Also I know people cook eggs in the cholent even on pesach.

I am under the impression that people have a separate egg pot because years ago, hens and roosters were kept together and then you might have an egg with a blood spot which was a problem. People used a separate, designated egg pot this way if they went to go eat a hard boiled egg and there was a blood spot, they new exactly which pot the egg was cooked in-that was now traif, and that nothing else had been cooked in the pot other the eggs.
One might??? arguing that the egg shell could conceivably come into contact with chametz, but that doesn't make senses. I imagine the reason why people have a custom of not cooking their eggs in the soup is because if they were to find a blood spot in the egg, the soup (and pot) would be garbage, and they may have eaten the traif soup before peeling that egg and finding the blood.
At this time, based on how chicken are housed/farmed, there is no risk of blood from a fertilized egg and according to many poskim this is no longer an issue with commercial eggs (non-commercial eggs/farm..... may be a different story). I would imagine that just as people cook eggs in chullent, soup would be the same.

*** I am not a posek and I am regular-logical frum. I do not have a wealth of minhaging and stringency. I don't use a white tablecloth, I do eat processed foods, and wash but don't peel my vegetables.

How can you even give any advice if you don’t use a white tablecloth?
