my 9 year old very picky son loves this! Extremely filling and leftovers are just as delicious!

This is the best soup I've ever made. It is so rich that you could consider it a whole meal itself. Perfect for a rainy day!

My two big suggestions if you want to make this are to grind your own meat and add a ton of extra spice. We had to skim off two massive fat pads after using store ground veal. She also suggested meatloaf mix as a substitute.... that stuff is almost 30% fat.
This recipe was unfortunately really bland, likely because of all the fat.
I really prefer the Italian Sub Stoup for flavor and ease of preparation.

I skipped the gremolata and used turkey instead of veal. I also doubled the amount of meat. There were NO leftovers! Everyone loved it

This is now our new family favorite and my son is as picky as the next kid! Great flavor, you may need to add more stock, just because it gets absorbed fast. Try it, it is easy and taste like you've worked very hard!!!

If I had to wish a meal on my worst enemy, this would be it.

I come from an actual full-blooded Italian family. My grandmothers spoiled us with wonderful food that had been served that they learned how to make at their grandmothers knees.

Since I have a bust 21'st century life I am always looking for recipes that will give me the taste of home with out the hour or so of work. Being an Osso Buco fan I had to give this Stoup a try.

What a crime againest nature!. If my grandmothers knew I ate this- let alone made it myself they would disown me and have the villiage Strega come and put a curse on me.

The dumplings:
Nutmeg does not belong ANYWHERE near veal. It gave the dumplings a strange after taste almost resembling pumpkin pie.

The stoup:
Mixing chicken and beef stock does not veal stock make!- not even close. I have had better soup out of a Progresso can. Possibly with real veal stock and a longer cooking time to develope the flavor this would come out better but as written it is not worth the time, the effort or the cost.

This recipe was touted as being inexpensive but in the regular ole grocery store the veal was $6, cheese $4, wine $8, stock $9 etc... added up to over $38 not counting EVOO, salt, pepper parsley, nutmeg. Had to make my stoup with water, beer and hamburger instead.
