Italian Grandma Makes Zucchini Soup

[@catiaVanPT]

This may sound strange, but I always feel like crying every time I watch one of grandma videos, her voice, appearance, her way of living and caring for her family reminds me a lot of my own grandma, she's been very sick, she's 93 and very fragile . People like her and my own grandma should be immortal. I always feel a knot in my throat when I watch these videos but it makes me feel good at the same time. Thank you grandma Gina for sharing what you can with us, and I sincerely hope you remain healthy and happy for many years, you are a gem. ❤️

[@rosafranco9184]

Princess Consuela Bananahammock am sorry about your grandma , but go and tell her how much she means to you, how much you love her, and that is going to give her a happiness you can not understand, I am a grandma, so I know what I am talking about it, thank God for giving you a precious grandma many are not that fortunate.God bless you and your grandma.

@@rosafranco9184 I visit her every weekends and make sure to kiss her cheeks and hug her tight everytime. I wasn't the easiest grandchild during teenage years, so I've been trying to show her as much love as I can. I just wish I had more time. Thank you for your words, I hope the universe is kind to you and yours too 💕

funkmoppet2 zucchini is the easiest veggie to grow Ive always thought. There’s not much to do but cut any leaves that get the powder mildew right away and you’ll get vegetables.

My father was born and raised in Italy, also on a farm. After my parents moved to the U.S., he always had a garden full of zucchini, bell peppers, Italian herbs, tomatoes, string beans, artichokes, even a grape arbor with wine grapes that he would harvest to make his own wine. He also made his own Italian-style sausage - I’ve never been able to buy anything quite as good in any store. He had an accent just like Mama Gina’s. I miss the fresh food he and my mom both cooked up, things like stuffed artichoke, bacalao, cardoon, hand-tossed pizzas, hundreds of different pasta dishes, fresh marinara and all types of tomato sauces, all made with produce from his own garden. Sadly, I was not born with the gift or ability for cooking, but I am eager to give Mama Gina’s recipes a try, she makes it seem so easy and I love listening to her. Thank you for these posts! They are wonderful and mean a lot to so many. Grazie, Mama Gina.

As first generation American, he flew B-17's in WWII out of North Africa over southern Italy at the age of 20, during the opening days of the war. It killed him that he was dropping bombs on his family, his cousins. He miraculously survived the war. The four of us kids (his children) were raised Italian American. He taught me how to bone a chicken. I never met his mother, my grandmother, but I am sure you are very much how she was. She did not speak English, only Italian. She would speak to him in Italian and he would answer her in English. She placed garlic cloves around his neck when he went to school to protect him from the flu! I love your videos.

I'm sorry for this comment Sandra, but in those days they used the garlic necklaces to prevent children from getting worms, or fighting worms if you already had them, not the flu.

@@destiny3423 what is the point of this pedantry? Were you there? Do you know the grandmother's motivation? Even if you're right, why nitpick? Sit down...

[@destiny3423]

@@PDXGregor Was I there? Not just was I there, i used wear those garlic neckless. Pedantry? I don't think so!

[@PDXGregor]

@@destiny3423 so again, I ask, do you know the grandmother's motivation? You might have used it for one purpose, but I suspect that's not the only reason they were worn...

americanfolklore.net/folklore/2010/10/garlic_superstitions_folklore.html If you scroll down about halfway, you will see that the article states, "During the early 20th century [Italians] sent their children to school wearing necklaces made of cloves of garlic to prevent them from catching colds." I couldn't find anything, anywhere about worms.

Grandma Gia, please know that I'm in love with this homey contour of your precious tomatoes, cucumbers and all. Grandpa used to plant lots of flowers and they will bloom easily and abundantly as in no other place around. They called him the old man with the green hand. Sharing this sweet swift tour meant a lot to the viewers who appreciate your love for life . Such a pure joy you are! Bless you❤

Thank you, Nona, our Precious Italian lady with your stories and all your singing, I love it !!! God’s Blessings to you, always our Gina,😘😘🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@thomastoler1815]

I love these videos. I find it so comforting to watch her cook and the sound of her voice, her broken English is so charming. I love how she often says things twice or even thrice, and how she refers to her husband and father-in-law; how endearing she is. She also seems to have genuine love for humanity. Thank you for sharing these videos.

[@Truth-In-Orthodoxy]

OMG,, very adorable mom. As much as I keep watching your recipe I like to hear your sweet accent . . . Above all, you're very adorable. May the Lord bless your heart!

[@catblue7065]

Awe, I love her. Reminds me of my youth. Miss my Italian neighbors dearly. The aroma on our block wafting thru windows in the summer was enough to make anyone hungry.

[@CherylLynnAKALopez]

Love watching you cook , and I love when you sing ......you cook from the heart that's why I love you ❤

[@madelinesavino4689]

I so miss their recipes which I never documented . I have made so many of Gina’s recipes and They are all Delicious ! Thank you Gina Keep those videos coming you’re the best 💜

She had me at the garden and then the actual cooking, but when she started singing I got tingly all over.
