Italian Grandma Makes Italian Wedding Soup (Meatball Soup)

[@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

[@karingoldberg2882]

Shalom Nonna Gina. I am writing from Israel which is not too far from your homeland. I love watching you and leaening how to cook Italian. I love the clean and healthy way you do it. You are a beautiful person inside and outside. May God bless you and keep you healthy and strong. Your family is so blessed to have you

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@VerilyVerily]

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

[@jacquiebilokin3300]

[@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]

[@kaerrma]

Gina is the best❤️

[@treemerryweather]

it's been a challenging day, watching you cook and hearing your song, heals and refreshes me thank you.

[@youtubeblockedme5864]

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

[@christshandmaiden]

one of the most adorable human beings ever!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@shirleydamore5667]

What is with the negative comments, she is such a joy to listen to . True Italian,

[@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 🤗

[@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.

[@tonidee761]

I just love you Gina! You remind me of when I was little and use to cook with my grandmother, they were magical days. Thank you for giving me a little bit of that magic back.

[@laurab2637]

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

[@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!

[@community1854]

At her age! God bless her!! What a service!!

[@michellem9275]

One of life's little pleasures..when the kitchen smells wonderful from your mama's nonna wives cooking..and papa's too!!💝❤🌻😊 luvvvv your singing..bravo!!🌹🥣🥄

[@crazygran]

Thank you for the video! It is a Bright light in a dim world right now! Brings joy to many people! Thanks for your video! Please keep sending us videos! You bring a lot of people happiness!!

[@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 😍

[@notwithoutchrist7591]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@francacece585]

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

[@creed4me]

Just love when you sing. Makes me miss my grandma

[@laurenkerr7557]

I still have an old recipe I got out of my grandma's newspaper 36 years ago. One of my favorites

[@leannespecchio6869]

I love her. She is a true Italian.

[@bernieenochs1933]

She is such a cute grandma reminds me of my grandma my grandma came from Italy to. I love watching her so sad she passed away, but she lived a good life Italian grandma 97 years old.❤🙏

[@bernieenochs1933]

I will miss her videos. Wish, she could’ve done more new videos I enjoyed them so much.

[@loriearcand2847]

Although her recipes are delicious, I believe her singing adds a magical & love filled touch that feeds the soul.

[@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. ❤️❤️❤️

So sweet when she sings!

[@jaxdarnell]

[@ggordon2903]

I already committed once but had to say I really hadn't watched the whole video. I felt I was in her kitchen for real. Loved her accent, her positivity, and her singing. Wish I had an Italian grandmother. Thank you for the love you showed in your cooking.

A cooking lesson AND a serenade? Love you, thank you for sharing your talents, they are appreciated.

[@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.

[@terrywilliamson6019]

She reminds me of my grandma🥰 I miss her so much. I can still smell her homemade bread baking 🍞 I wish I had gotten her recipes. Gina you’re a treasure to behold! Keep singing and making these beautiful videos of your delicious food.

Always a bright spot in my day to see that Grandma Gina is sharing her cooking with us. Loved the serenade as well. I am going to try with spinach, as escarole is so hard to find at the store. Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy. Ciao. 👩‍🍳

[@sjekoken614]

Gina is truly the Bob Ross of cooking. I have bad insomnia and these cooking shows are very relaxing, entertaining, positive, and, of course, informative! Never thought I'd be able to make a decent wedding soup until now (I was pan frying the meatballs before I added them to the soup). Thanks Gina (and crew)!

[@mima5616]

Thanks so much for all of your recipes! I love you Nonna!!! God bless you and keep singing! You are such a beautiful human being. I love all of your videos. You make me smile every time I see you.

[@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!
