Italian Grandma Makes Italian Wedding Soup (Meatball Soup)

[@insanesylph]

If you don’t like her videos DON’T Watch them. So sad y’all give her thumbs down. Keep making your videos, and singing! You are an amazing cook and I love your videos. I wish I had some of your canned tomatoes they are beautiful. Now, make a video on how you make your chicken stock. I can’t wait to see you on your next video😍.

[@pameladee]

Angelic Marie agreed! I’ve loved Gina like she’s part of my family. I can’t imagine ANYONE giving her thumbs down....ever. I have made many of her recipes and it makes my heart happy to have her showing me what to do. She’s the grandma I never had 💕

[@thiamata5346]

I can't believe these people do a thumbs down. Very unhappy people. I'm Italian, Northern, love her recipes.

[@joannekeefe426]

I was watching her chicken marsala video. Some a hole had the balls to comment that you don't have to use marsala. Right! I want marsala! I wrote! If u don't want marsala what the hell u doing watching marsala to say u you don't need it! Shocking, the mentality. Anyways the thumbs downers are just from other KZbin cooks who are jealous

[@thiamata5346]

@@joannekeefe426 your right. I would want Marsala. Those Debbie downers have personal problems.

[@lillygate401]

I love Gina's videos my husband is Italian , I have tried some recipes 👌😋❤️🇮🇹 and her English accent is great 😍

[@cristinafloreste8240]

Dear grandma Gina, my name is Cristina and I live in São Paulo, Brazil, I speak Portuguese (I neither speak nor write in Italian or English .... sorry for the mistakes, I am using the Google translator), I am the granddaughter of Italians, my grandparents came from Vicenza, Veneto, in 1898 to work on coffee farms, almost as slaves. I watch your KZbin channel and I am delighted with your Italian accent ..... the timbre of your voice reminds me of the voice of my grandmother Amabile. I like your recipes that remind me of my family's recipes. Accept my greeting and my kiss ... Greetings

[@fredA1234]

I don’t know why anybody would give her a thumbs down or not like her voice. If you do not wanna learn how to cook Italian, then don’t watch an Italian cook. She sounds just like my grandmother and it’s actually a breath of fresh air to hear her talk and sing.Thank you for all your great videos.

[@itsmeterri]

Oh what a beautiful grandma. Is it possible to love her even so I don't know her personally. Just lovely. God bless you. My daughters and I love your singing. Sending you a big hug and kiss.

[@irinak5674]

Love how she said a prayer before trying the soup! She is so authentic, not trying to conform to society, just being herself. God bless you, Gina!

[@VerilyVerily]

You are certainly the world’s Best Grandma (words on apron) , Gina! You have internet grandchildren all over the world!

[@jacquiebilokin3300]

What more can be said thank you Nonna

[@happyrapture1370]

Gina, I was so happy when you started singing. Tears came. It is harder and harder to find joy in this world, but when I watch your videos and you start to sing, I am filled with great joy. God bless you Gina and thank you for just a few moments of great peacefulness. Also can we get your broth recipe?

[@susanjimenez8529]

I love grandma Gina's singing, she is so cute!

[@alexandradombrowski4915]

....and we have to look through her other recipes to find the one for the broth!

[@BuonAPetitti]

Thank you for your kind words. I make my broth by placing chicken pieces, two to three pounds, (mostly chicken wings and chicken neck bones) in a large pot of water. I add onion, celery, carrot, bay leaf, garlic, parsley, pepper and salt. bring it to a boil, then simmer for an hour. When it cools, I run the broth through a fine sieve so that all I have is clear broth. Store the broth in the fridge for a couple of days or in the freezer up to a month.

[@cortright3669]

I agree. I don’t know how anyone would not like Grandma, her recipes and her wonderful personality. 🥰

[@agathicharalambous7959]

Lovely Italian nona.I love you so mach.Is just a pleasure to watch you and listen to your singing.Your soup looks delicious.I will definitely try it.Keep well keep safe and God Bless you.From South Africa.

[@Abbay_special_recipe]

Cort Right people who hate them self, they can’t help themselves to be a hater

[@verarich5426]

I make your Mearball soup all the time. Make a huge pot then freeze it in cotiner,then use it when I feel like eating soup. My grown daughters and my grandchildren absolutely love this soup. I dont put the carrots in as they get to soft. I make them in a little chicken broth to cook then put them in the soup when it is though the soup .so delicious. Thank for cooking for us. Love you and your sining. I married into a Italien family.

[@nadiarimanzcy-mares6618]

Totally agree Gina is the best. I just love her personality, warmth and her singing. I'm learning so much from this wonderful lady. Well done Gina..👍👍👏👏😙❤🌷🌷

[@kaerrma]

Gina is the best❤️

[@christshandmaiden]

one of the most adorable human beings ever!!!

[@michaell3660]

Gina is the REAL DEAL. I treasure her . No professional chefs can cook like this. She adds love and soul

[@susanserafini4683]

Amen!!!

[@donnaryan3162]

You remind me of my mama. She is gone many years and I miss her mightily. Your videos cheer me up and help me remember her wonderful spirit.

[@arpibahnam3121]

The priceless tool in one’s kitchen is her/his hands. God bless those beautiful hands nona Gina and thank you😘Lots of love from Beirut🇱🇧Lebanon❤️

[@memnwn]

How can people dislike this video, honestly. She is a grandma to us all! Thank you so much for the recipe!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@skylit6491]

I know right! Some people can be so disrespectful

[@youtubeblockedme5864]

What a beautiful soul. The singing made me happy. Wish she was my grandma

[@shawnbhayes]

I remember my nonna making delicious soup for us. She would usually use oxtails or beef neck bones and she would keep the vegetables whole, potatoes, carrots, celery stalks, and so on. My father is from northern Italy, and every meal had to start with soup, except for Friday when we would start with spaghetti and homemade sauce. My grandparents would join my parents and three sisters for dinner every night at our house, and I remember my mama cutting up the vegetables in the soup for everyone. It was a ritual, and I remember the feeling of everyone enjoying time together at the end of each day. I am starting to cry, missing those happy days and my grandparents and parents. When I get to see them again, I hope my nonna's soup will be our first course, celebrating being together again. I always order Italian wedding soup at Italian restaurants if it's on the menu, and I will try this recipe. It sounds delicious like all of nonna's recipes. I love listening to you and learning from you! Today, I made tomato sauce from tomatoes from my garden. Thank you for teaching the next generation! You are a treasure!

If someone gives this treasure a thumbs down they deserve to lose their thumbs!

[@CIST3]

She is the best medicine during this time of racial violence and upheaval and pandemic. Thank you for posting this. I love her beautiful hands; remind me so much of my own grandmother. When she breaks into song, it's like she takes us all for a little dance. Have a blessed day.

[@laurab2637]

I'm making Nonna Gina my grandmother! Love her! Always enjoy watching her cook!😘

[@davidlepre7893]

Gina, When I watch you, all of the problems of the world go away for a little while. You take me back to a very happy childhood because you remind me of the love that my mother put into every meal she prepared for her family. As her youngest son in a family of all boys, I was her main helper when she cooked. So, everything you do reminds me of her. Bless you. You bring so much joy into my family.

[@cristineinnamorato7011]

This soup is exactly how Gina described it “Special”. It is absolutely delicious. Gina is also very special. She makes me smile, she makes me cry because she touched my heart. GOD BLESS YOU, Gina!! Please keep cooking and singing and inspiring me to make these GORGEOUS dishes!! Love You

[@paulettenoel4391]

This is one of my favorite soups. Nothing like an Italian grandma teaching the real way to make it & singing with her beautiful voice 🤗

[@michellem9275]

Ciao Gina, March 3, 2024 my mom Anna passed away at 79yrs young. This Christmas was the first time we didn’t have her heartfelt mini meatball escarole soup and let me tell you it was is desired dearly. It hurts enormously loosing my mom and although I’m crying right now I’d like to thank you for warming my heart with your video. ❤

[@iavagnilio3903]

im sorry for your familys loss. I love listening to her speak in her videos as much as i enjoy her shared meals

I love when she speaks English with a little bit of Italian and I feel like I'm learning 2 things Italian and the cook I loved

[@brendaplunkett8659]

I made this soup for dinner. I made it with rice instead of small pasta because I am allergic to glueten. It was one of the BEST soups I have ever had. Delicious. I love Gina!

[@brendaplunkett8659]

Oh, I also used Gluten free Panko bread crumbs and the meatballs were fantastic. Thats for my gluten free friends!

[@notwithoutchrist7591]

Yes Nonna! Sing! Love it. God bless you and be safe.

[@creed4me]

Just love when you sing. Makes me miss my grandma

[@nancyfarmgirl]

When I am having a challenging day I turn on Grandma Gina. It reminds me of my italian grandma who passed 30 years ago. Thank goodness she taught me the treasured family recipes which I have passed on to my 4 sons who love cooking as much as I do. Thank you Grandma Gina

[@leannespecchio6869]

I love her. She is a true Italian.

[@foetwenny]

This was by far my favorite thing my Italian grandma used to make for me. Can't wait to see your version :)

[@sitdown3983]

Gina, are you a little tanned here? That apron is the cutest. You have such beautiful skin on your arms and hands - no age spots - amazing! Your kitchen is sooo pretty. And your earrings are my favorite stone. But this soup is the prettiest of all - it is *that* pretty - probably because of the magic you put into it! And this channel just passed half a million subs - WOW, but no surprise - congrats!

[@insearchof76]

Watching you make the meatball soup reminds me of my dear Nonna making her soup when I was just a little girl. Exactly the way I make it now. I use Ancine de Pepi pasta. Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ExperienceVidium]

So wonderful to watch this beautiful authentic Italian nonna - just found out she passed during the pandemic on Apr 2 2020- I also lost both my mom on the very same day Apr 2 at 89 yrs and my dad the following day Apr 3 both from COVID - this generation will always stay close to our hearts - and love her Wedding Soup!

[@alleclercq]

And yeah, my 3 children are totally charmed by granny Gina! They could not stop saying how sweet she is and how adorable her accent is! Stay in good health for many more years dear Gina!

[@Grandmarie53]

I just love this woman. She brings me joy to watch her, she enjoys and loves her cooking. Loves teaching us her way of cooking. Every Grandma should be this happy.

[@francacece585]

Most cooks learned from mom or grandma like nonna Gina! Her little meatballs were precise she is real deal love her.

[@birgulbilgi]

Following you from Turkey. Really I am relaxing when I see your videos. How nice you are singing. I would like to be like you. Think that you are my future and past. God bless you:)

[@theresanatalie6322]

Grazie Nonna Gina for all of your amazing recipes. I was born in Satriano, Italy. My family came to America in 1973, basically my mother’s entire side of the family came over. My mother passed in 2011, she was an amazing cook but no handwritten recipes existed. I came across your videos a few years ago, and your recipes brought back memories of how my mom cooked. Your recipes mean so much and I can’t thank you enough for generously sharing them. I also want to mention that you remind me so much of my mother’s two sisters, my Zia Mariangela and Zia Rosa, which warms my heart.

[@rosannacasella774]
