    I am so intrigued by this recipe! It reminds me of dumplings in soup. Definitely something to try, as my SO is Italian.

      Italy regional cuisine is out of this world, and each region has it’s pearls. I always loved this canederli soup all year around.
      Enhjoy!

    This looks really good! Unlike any other soup I’ve seen.

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Thank you and you can also enjoy the canederli with tomato sauce and lots of butter too.
      Enjoy!

    This sounds like such a flavorful soup! I cannot wait to try it!

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      It is and you can add more ham to your liking to it. Thank you for stopping by Giangi’s Kitchen.
      Enjoy!

    Every cuisine has its share of dumpling soups or stews. Canederli Soup would definitely be something my hubby would love to try as he loves smoked ham and pancetta. Your write up about Bolzano brings back memories of my trip to Italy. We simply loved the country, wish we had time to see more.Can image how beautiful Bolzano must be surrounded by mountains.

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      I wish I could take my family there and each time we go to Italy it never seems to happen. The Dolomites area and Bolzano are some of my favorites. Everything about it is stunning and so relaxing. A must bucket list place to visit.
      I so love this soup, like your hubby, because of the pancetta and smoked ham 🙂 and because it is so easy to make as well.
      Thank you for reading my recipe.
      Bon Appetit!

    I wish we could travel to Italy just now just to try the Canederli soup. You draw such beautiful verbal imagery I and feel I am already there. My girls will definitely love this soup as they love smoked ham. Must tell them.

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Thank you Archana, that is very sweet of you. Like you, I wish I could be there this summer and enjoy it again locally.
      Hopefully soon, right?
      Please do share it with your girls and love to have your feedback when you try it.
      Bon Appetit!

    I only saw Bolzano from the motorway, but gosh, what a view to the Dolomites! Thanks for a beautiful piece of history – I’ve learnt something new today! And for another beautiful Italian dish!!

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Those mountains are something else. When the sun hits them at a certain time of the day, you can actually see the red and see the fossils still in the mountain. Breathtaking views and such a serene place to be.
      You are most welcome, thank you for reading my recipe.
      Bon Appetit!!

    I am just loving the background story to this Canederli Soup, and the soup texture looks simply amazing. And don’t get me started on those balls – gotta love balls!

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Thank you Azlin. Those balls are amazing. The great past is that you can make smaller for the little one’s, Cook them with salted water, add your favorite tomato sauce with lots of butter, and voila, you have another fantastic meal with the canederli.
      Enjoy!!

    I just adored eating canederli when we visited the Dolomite mountains a few years ago. I vowed that I would try to make them when we got home, and then forgot. 🙂 This recipe has motivated me to try!

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      That is wonderful Lisa! I hope you do try it. Aren’t the Dolomites stunning? I have to many wonderful memories and they hold a special place in my heart.
      Thank you for reading my post.
      Bon Appetit!

    This is the closest recipe to what I remember of my Nonna’s, who is from Bolzano. I’m attempting it for the first time. It looks and sounds delicious so I’m so excited. I have one question though. There’s no flour in the list of ingredients but instruction #4 says “add flour”! How much? This seems to have been omitted from the ingredients list. Help!
    Thank you!

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Hi Jennifer,
      Thank you for catching the mistake of the flour and I have corrected it. You will need 2/3 of a cup of flour.
      I hope you had the opportunity to go to Bolzano, such a beautiful city and the surrounding area are so beautiful.
      Enjoy the recipe, and please do let me know if it is as you remember it.
      Bon Appetit!
      Giangi
