In the realm of hearty and comforting dishes, Grandpa's Farinasemolina Knadles in Chicken Broth stands out as a culinary masterpiece. Originating from the Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige, this traditional recipe combines the rustic charm of homemade knadles with the rich flavors of a flavorful chicken broth. The knadles, also known as dumplings or gnocchi, are crafted from a unique blend of farinasemolina flour, a coarse-textured flour made from durum wheat, and a variety of aromatic herbs and seasonings. These dumplings are then lovingly formed into small, dense balls and gently simmered in a pot of savory chicken broth, infusing the broth with their delectable flavors and aromas. As the knadles cook, they absorb the essence of the broth, becoming soft and tender on the inside while maintaining a slightly firm exterior. The result is a symphony of textures and flavors that will warm your soul and leave you craving for more. Served piping hot, Grandpa's Farinasemolina Knadles in Chicken Broth offers a taste of traditional Italian comfort food that is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. This article provides two variations of the recipe: a traditional version and a vegetarian version, ensuring that everyone can savor the goodness of this classic dish.

GRAMPA'S FARINA(SEMOLINA) KNADLES IN CHICKEN BROTH
My fondest recipe of this soup is coming in from cross-country skiiing with my husband and being sat down to eat a bowl of this amazing comfort food that will warm you from the inside out. German in origin, these knadles are dumplings made from cream of wheat. Chicken broth can be made from bouillon cubes as the dumplings will also flavor the broth nicely.

KNODLES (GERMAN BREAD DUMPLINGS)
This recipe was passed down to me from my German born grandmother. She came to this country in the 1930s. She worked in a country club as a cook and was quite an accomplished one at that. This is one of her german recipes passed down to me. This is so good with pot roast and gravy!

Steps:
- 1. Put the diced up bread in a bowl. Bring the milk to a boil and pour over the bread. Cover with foil or if you are using a pan, put the lid over the pan for 1 hour.
- 2. Beat the two eggs together in a cup. Add to the bread mixture after the hour is up and also now add the tablespoon of flour and the teaspoon of salt and mix all together. If mixture is too soft, add some breadcrumbs.
- 3. Shape the bread into balls about the size of your palm or about the size of a baseball and drop each ball into a pan of simmering salted water (I just add 1 teas of salt to the water) Put the lid on and leave covered for 20 minutes as it continues to simmer. NEVER LIFT THE LID during the cooking time.

KNODEL
This is an Austrian classic. 'Knodel' (you pronounce the "k") means 'dumpling' in German. My mother used to make this a lot when I was small because it's a good way to use up stale bread. It remains one of my fondest childhood taste memories. The quantities are approximate, because this is one of those recipes that isn't written down, so I had to follow her around the kitchen the last time she made it. Be sure the bread is stale. If it isn't, dry it in the oven after cutting it into cubes.
