- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This is a video that i have been wanting to make for awhile but, we take turns making the geschtel and my turn didn't come around until now.
we feel like you can't go wrong with a good, hot bowl of soup.
#Hutterite #fooddiaries
3 parts flour
1 part eggs
turmeric
add the eggs slowly, turn up the speed of your mixer once its safe and you wouldn't have flour flying all over the place. and allow to mix for 10 minutes on high once you have incorporated all your ingredients.
dry for 10 minutes 225 F depending on your oven
stir, dry another 10 minutes
allow to cool before storing.
Just a side note watching your vlogs, which are the best reminds me of my family and relatives growing up on a kibbutz (A communal settlement in Israel.) as you do things much like we do from the dinning room to everyone working for the greater good of the community. Thank you for letting me relive my childhood and great time in my life, even if we are different religions. You are such an amazing story teller and one of the most positive people I know. My family can see me becoming a more positive person thanks to your vlogs. Thanks for everything especially bringing me closer to God. ❤️ Love the gestchtel going right now to make it. I will save you some.
aww thank you so much it means a lot to me that you enjoy the vlogs and that they help guide you wishing you all the best 🙂
That’s so awesome Gil. Must have been an amazing way to grow up with family all around you! Always lots to learn and lots of company n such
Gil ...great to hear from you! My uncle Elie Kleinsasser (who has since deceased) visited the kibbutz over 40 years ago. I remember him telling us about his trip. My mom also has an old book with photos of people from there dressed like Hutterites used to.
Too bad a person would have to take the snake juice in order to return. Isra'el has changed drastically. It's wonderful that you had that experience in Isra'el though. Shalom Aleichem.
Giselle: Kegele, Kugele, Kuegele --- comes from the German word for "sphere, ball" - which is "Kugel", which in Austrian and Bavarian dialects can become "Kegele, Kugele, Kuegele" or similar. I was born in Austria and I understand most of what you say when you use Hutterite German!
So basically you're making homemade egg noodles, they're just shaped into pearls.
Looks delicious
But egg noodles are just dried, and it looks like they bake these for 20 minutes? I bet that makes a difference in taste.
Like spaetzel..but dried first and added eggs..
My mom was raised Mennonite in Ohio. We grew up on a dish very similar to this. It is called Rivels. She dropped the “lumps” of flour and egg typically into beef broth that had some pieces of bed that was leftover from Sunday lunch. It was definitely a comfort food. We had it once or twice a week. It was inexpensive yet filled up our little bellies. 😊
i have heard of/eaten Spaetzle, but never heard of Geschtel until now. i need it in my life, henceforth!
Reminded me of spaetzle, too!
We add in a little bit salt and ours are a little bigger chunks and not so dry. When in the soup, we add roasted onions and bacon chunks on top of the soup. Here in my village we call it "ghackta geschtn". It sounds a little bit like "gehackte Gerste" but there is no Gerste in it. I found out that very less people in my region know this. Mostly older one (but I'm not soooo old) know it.
That's my absolute favorite meal😋. I love it since I was a little girl.
My mom said that it was a "Arme Leute Essen"....
Funny fact: 5 minutes ago I wrote my meal plan for the next week.. We will have it next tuesday 😂
Greetings from Germany...
Poor people soup , I believe I could converse with you if I met you 😍 My mother tongue is Pa German .
@@ozarkview928 wo lebst du? 😊
А мы,русские немцы, переводим geschtel как основа
@@irisjakob5221 Midwest of United States , my family originated from Lancaster Co Pa. But I believe my forefathers came across the ocean from Switzerland, my husband’s the Reiff’s came from somewhere in Germany . Our Pa German is a dialect and anymore has a lot of English mixed in , it’s not a written language.
@@AgentLiza sorry ,I can’t read this .
This was so interesting to see. My family lives in the west part of Romania, near Hungary and we used to eat this soup a lot. It’s a great alternative to noodles. It’s called tărhană in our dialect. We used to make a dough ball and grate it into shape. Viele Grüße from München
Giselle, would you consider publishing a cookbook of all of your delicious foods?
Excellent idea.
I love eating that soup at colonies my husband and I work for. Thanks for the recipe! (Now to find the recipe for Hutterite Buns)! I’m very happy I found your channel. Thank you.
The bunnnnnss!!!
Have been searching for this recipe for years...the others that I have found were much more complicated than I had remembered. Yours is EXACTLY the flavor that I remember from my childhood neighbor. THANK YOU!
Your videos have been keeping me sane while I have had Covid. I’ve gone back and re-watched so many of them and found new things about the video that I really love. My dog Saffy been glued to my side and won’t leave me, she knows her mama is sick. I’m 63 and a retired school teacher and I can’t tell you how much your life and your joy in the videos mean to me. If I could ever mail you, Kona, or your family anything, please let me know. Stay warm!
Am also a retired school teacher.
I love watching these videos too. I love the sense if community. Hope you recover soon. 🙏🙏🙏
Prayers for a speedy recovery! 🙏🙏💕💕 Nothing beats a sweet furbaby giv9love and comfort, they are so smart! 💕
🙏🙏🙏for your full recovery! 💐 From one teacher to another. 🤗
I just love all the people on this channel family. Prayer has went up for you.
🙏 for a compete recovery, Vanne. Take plenty of vitamin D and C according to the doctor's suggestions.
Beautiful floral dress! ❤️ your videos! Thanks!
Cook them in milk and add some sugar, it was very popular breakfast in my kindergarten also my grandma used to add them to many soups. It is called "zacierki" in Poland ☺️
Sounds super yummy!
Made it ,l had to add more egg ,but l cooked exactly howyou said ,then into my own chicken stock ,and oh my goodness ,l loved it ,thankyou Gizelle,,l just love your chanel 💞💞💞
In my area we call egg+flour rivels. SO delicious when added to soup!
You’ll ❤️ those David Baldacci novels!
Best translation ....Egg Crumbs for soup. Lol My German Great Aunties made something simular to put in soups.
I made it before this way but found the smaller crumbs were too mushy and inconsistant. What I usually do and what my mother taught me from the Yugoslavian culture is to make a firm dough and grate it on a sharp grater into piles and allow to dry slightly. I use a microplane grater but be very careful....it IS very sharp!
We had geschtel soup growing up too and dumplings or nookala, around here we Wollman. Glanzers like our dumplings a little harder or chewer, but yes they both are very good. I also love mootoschen or mouth slap those are sooo good too!!!
I Airways feel hungry after watching you in the kitchen xx
Pozdrav Giselle!Ja sam iz Hrvatske,odnedavno te pratim i obozavam taj vas nacin zivota.Podsjeca na neke davne dane kad su svi u obitelji zivjeli zajedno i nitko nikome nije smetao,a svi su radili na dobrobit obitelji.Nazalost ta su vremena prosla.Kod nas se isto radi nesto slicno,i uglavnom sluzi kao prefina tjestenina za juhe.Predivna si djevojka,vrijedna i draga.Bas me uveseljavas u ovom ludilu i nastavljam te pratiti.Bozji blagoslov za sve vas!!
Je dois t'avouer que je ne comprend pas du tout l'anglais, mais malgré tout j'adore tes videos j'apprends beaucoup de choses et tu as l'air d'etre une personne merveilleuse 🙂
That looks interesting to eat. I might make one suggestion. A little black pepper. Not enough black pepper that you can even taste it. The reason is that black pepper has pepperine in it that opens up your intestinal track to receive cumminum from the turmeric which is the health benefit of turmeric. It is a great anti-inflammatory. It is good for your whole body. But your body does not want to absorb cumminum but the black pepper opens up your intestines to receive it exponentially better. This is especially good for someone who has cancer or who is about to develop cancer. As well as any other inflammatory problems. Just a suggestion. But if you haven’t put the pepper in it go ahead and bring it by my house I will eat it just to be sociable mind you.😊
Hi Giselle. Any plans for when you get to 20,000 subs? It's a GREAT achievement, we're so proud of you...
I love it because it shows us how to make some of your dishes and the culture by showing process. Take care and am a big fan!!
I missed this video. They are a bit like the Backerbsen we have had in Austria. They are mostly flour and egg but deep fried. They are known in English as soup pearls. So perhaps yours are also a type of soup pearls. My children really liked those as a snack without the soup.
In some old german cookbooks you can find the recipe. Here they are called "Riebelen". My mom used to make them. They're very tasty in beefbroth. She used to add salt and a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
I by chance heard on a talk radio show where some folks were talking about always wanting to build several homes with barns, shops, garden area, etc and live happily ever after. I laughed saying outloud Duh hello ever heard on hutterites, Mennonite and Amish communities. Shoot ever heard of the 70s and the communes? These young folks were talking as if they had an idea no one ever thought of, lol! God Bless y'all!!
Right?
To THEM it IS new! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! My grandmother made recipe she got from her Austrian mother in law. She couldn't remember the name so she called it "Getchel" and I haven't been able to find it, now here it is.
My husband and I are retired in North Carolina and we’ve been watching your videos every day . We enjoy them so much. Your cleaning ethic inspires me to be more diligent. I come from a German background and enjoy the singing, memories of my childhood. We are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and rejoice in your Bible study. I love your sewing and cooking clips. Your dog is beautiful! Love, Karin.
Your Gaeschtel egg & flour pasta reminds me of our Spaetzle (German), although our egg & flour are made into a batter that is pressed through a colander that sits above a simmering pot of water. Once the Spaetzle floats, it's drained & tossed into a skillet with melted butter. Yum!
Hi Giselle, love your videos when you work in the kitchen. Would love for you to make a videos of your mom making gluten free bread and rolls. It would be so appreciated. Blessings
Thank you ,great you back ,missed you ,Kona face is lovely see how he looks at you,if that not love I don't know what is .All up to speed now with blog ,so roll on ext one .smiles and hugs from lreland .
Hey, I found them in the supermarket, here in Germany. A high quality noodle brand, specialised in local speciality noodles from Svabia, they offered spätzle, too. Their ribele were small, like your smaller ones. I would guess ribele derives from German gerieben, English rubbed. So small rubbed thingies ... They were 2 Euros for 250 grams and contained 20% egg.
An interesting Vlog, thanks again, Giselle. A good remedy for colds and flues is plenty of onion and garlic. (How many Italian farmers do you know who have colds or flu?) Another remedy that I use personally is Echinacea, I use about 3,000 to 5,000 mg daily in capsule form to boost the immune system and I know that it works extremely well for me.
great video! my hutterite grandma would make us nukela soup frequently growing up which i think is very similar to geshtel in larger chunks. i’m considering making some so this helps a lot :)
Oh my this brought back memories of my mom making rivel soup when one of us kids were sick. 💖💖
We missed you.. Another beautiful Vlog
I HAPPY YOUR BACK THIS WAS NTERESTING GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Very interesting! Feel better
I loved this vlog! Oh, Giselle, this reminds of the various recipes I have helped prepare over the years with the older women of my family. Stages, steps, pausing to stir and do them all over again until it’s done right. Now I am an elder of the family and there is no one younger to teach. Thank you very much for sharing the process and reminding us the good and delicious things come in tiny packages when “done right.”
Guten Tag, Giselle! Thank you for this video, showing us how geschtel is made. The soup looks so delicious! So many cultures think that chicken soup is good medicine when you are sick. A few years ago, I read a scientific study proving that it actually did help people heal from colds or viruses in various ways. People were right all along! It really is a great thing to have when you don't feel well. Thank you for your videos. Wishing you Christ's peace, healing, and comfort...sending prayers for your and your community.
There's a reason why old ways have been carried through the centuries, because they work! Hot chicken soup clears the passages, provides protein that aids in healing, the spices, herbs, and vegetables used provide provide nutrients, vitamins, immune boosters, etc. all packed into one bowlful.....What would just eating a cracker do for you? not much.
@@chickadeetle So true! Chicken soup is great for you. Have a good eekend!
Thanks, Giselle, for another delicious sounding recipe! I love comfort food and it looks pretty easy-to-make. It is harder to say, I think, than it will be to make...😉
:)
🤝👍🙏🏻thx Giselle
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Such a wonderful tradition . Looks really yummy.
I learned about geschtel today. Feel better, giselle. 😊
Yum! Hello from Vancouver Island. Keep posting! You have an interesting life.
Looks yummy, kind of like tiny pasta tfs 🥰❄☃☔🌞🏜✝💗🥰❄☃☔🌞🏜✝💗
I love learning Hutterite recipes ❤️❤️❤️
Don't forget the parsley.Delicious
I would love to have the recipe for this. Lol!! I have to har written down. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏼🌹
We call them rivels 💖 I always have some in my freezer 💖
Even your music is comforting 😌
Your videos are always interesting 🥰God bless 🙏🙏
I learned about these from you and they look amazing. Comfort food is one of life’s true pleasures. And the memories of the smells and the “making” is pure joy. ❤️ 🥘 😋
Hello Giselle, hmmmmmmm sounds delicious! We have something similar in Switzerland we call it "Flaedlisuppe" the Flaedli are also made with egg and flour and a bit oil and then we cook them and add it to the soup :))
Hallo Anita, ich kenne Flädlesuppe nur mit ausgebackenen Pfannkuchen, die in Streifen geschnitten sind.
Interessant...
@@irisjakob5221 ja so ist es... aber eigentlich die gleichen Zutaten bei uns Eier und Mehl.... :)
@@anitabucher4963 genau... 🤔... Da fällt mir ein, dass ich noch 3 Pfannkuchen im Kühlschrank hab. Die könnte ich heute verarbeiten in einer Flädlesuppe. ☺️
We have this food in my area too, but we call it rivels. We don't dry the rivels out though--you make the dough and then rub it between your fingers/hands to drop it into the soup.
So we do here in Germany
it can be used fresh and dried (for preservation)
We make a similar soup that is called lisan asfour (bird tongue--which is the name of the pasta shape, orzo) and it's my kids' favorite. Just good chicken broth, the pasta, and lemon juice.
Like little egg noodles. Reminds me of German Spatzel noodles or the Pennsylvania Dutch Rivel Soup.
Thanks for sharing .
I can’t believe there are two Giselle videos in one day!! Wow! Thank you so much.
Looks delicious, I am so happy when your recipes come out. Thank you for all your entertaining and educating videos.
I love learning about Hutterite foods! Thank you!
This geschtel reminds me of spaetzle
It looks like a slightly more floury version of Pennsylvania Dutch rivels - but they aren't dried. They are placed into the soup broth while still moist.
Love these videos. Im fortunate to have friends at the colony near me and get to experience the delight of having meals there often. I've had this treat many a time. Do you ever make the bread crumb and egg dumplings that go in broth? Im obsessed with those!!
I know it is totally off topic... How can you guys wear short sleeves all year around? I would be freezing! I wear 2-3 layers of clothes (usally undershirt, longsleeve and cardigan) to stay warm. I know that might be way to much for most people ;) That is something that kept me wondering for a while now and I decided it is time to investigate how you are not cold all the time :D
The soup looks really good and I have never ever heard of geschtel before in my life.
How interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely, thank you for sharing.
Those look like mini dumplings. Looks delicious. I just love your videos. Look forward to your videos every week❤
Your head cook is a busy lady indeed!!! I really love seeing all of your vlogs but the cooking ones are so interesting because the recipes remind me of some of my family's old German cooking.
Ok I wanted to know what the crackling was and show that's made and maybe your could share them titles of some of the books on your bookshelf and tell us a little about them with your favorite picks to read. Thanks yours head cook and cooks helper for letting us into their kitchen today. Another great video.
Hi Gisela, finely chopped Parsley added to chicken soup /Gerschtel Is the topping of any soup. Yeah, I'm familiar with this soup with slight variations, depending on where one lived. It's great to have you back. I left a comment on your overview of 2021. Take care, stay warm, happy. May the great GOD the father bless your colony. Kind regards from Opa Doug from down under. Aufwiedersehen und Gute Nacht.
Reading through comments finally think figured out this is a form of chicken soup with miniature egg dumplings. Looks good.
Thank you for another video! Makes me so happy!
I found it informative and interesting.
Love your videos Giselle. Something comforting in them just like the Geschtel.
This looks very similar to Pennsylvania Dutch chicken corn soup with rivels that is poplar among some Amish and Mennonite communities. It has eggs and flour and is made in a manner similar to what you’re making. It is so good.
That's what I was thinking. Lancaster County,PA. Rivels,I love them!
Karla, that is just what I was thinking!! Like minded PA Dutch people think a like!!
The rivel sounds similar to the old German word "riebela" that means greated.
Yes!!! I was just thinking the same thing. I live in Pennsylvania in an amish community. We make the same thing but do not dry them. They go from dough right into soup. So yummy!!!
In Austria we eat Gerstl soup too, but it‘s very differnt to your soup although it phonetically sounds the same. It‘s made out of barley, which is called Gerste, therefore Gerstl soup.
We call what you described as geshel -Rivels. So good in chicken corn soup
This was very interesting. It's always the simple ingredients that add up to comfort food. Kona was checking out those tracks she was following to make sure you would be safe. Love and hugs to you both.
That looks very delicious! 😋 ❤️ I'm eating chicken noodle soup as I watch lol.
Sounds delightful 😊
Hi Giselle, it sounds like couscous….. very tasty.
I grew up eating something similar! In Russian its called Kluski (Клёцки) originally a Polish dish I"m pretty sure:)
They are bigger and in my family we also add bullion into the egg-flour mixture. It's the best kind of soup when you want something simple yet equally delisicous :D
Oh thank you so much for sharing the recipe Giselle. Have a wonderful day. From Saskatchewan where out weather has gone again from -35 without windchill to -7 lol
With such cold temperatures you for sure need to make Giselle's soup! 😂
@@happycook6737 oh I am so goin to 😊
@@luellaanderson7355 Stay warm dear friend! I can't imagine such extreme cold. I'd be drinking hot tea nonstop. My Swedish great grandmother said they just drank hot water when she was a child in 1890. I'll try to send you some warmer weather from the south. 🤗
Ahhh feel better G! I’m sure that soup is delish. Prayers for you and colony to have a healthy Winter. God’s ✌🏻
This looks so yummy! It'll be one of the recipes I'm definitely going to try soon!
My grandma made me rivel soup when I was a little girl this sounds similar and very comforting. I would love to have the ingredients for your Christmas Eve dip it looks so good I know that it is a Christmas Eve tradition for you but I have a couple family events coming up this spring I saw lots of good fresh veggies and stuff this might be just the thing it looked yummy and made me hungry
And I thought I knew all the good recipes! Thanks.
This looks yummy! So glad you’re feeling better!
If you're looking for other ideas for comfort foods you could do ratatouille. I do an Italian style ratatouille in the 6 quart slow-cooker where I peel and cut up an eggplant, cut up some zucchini and yellow squash, cut up some bell peppers and onions and put all that into the slow cooker with 2 28-ounce cans of crushed tomatoes with basil, fresh basil, fresh rosemary, and fresh oregano (I buy the Gourmet Garden brand Italian Herbs stir-in paste), a big ol' spoonful of minced garlic, and some red cooking wine but you can skip that if you're not allowed to use alcohol in your cooking. You can also make your own tomato puree from your garden-fresh tomatoes instead of using the canned stuff. After cooking all day in the slow-cooker on low serve over cooked pasta. Great way to use some garden veggies and for protein can throw in some sliced up pre-cooked Italian sausage. I've also done a Tex-Mex variant using fire-roasted crushed tomatoes instead of the ones with basil, 6 packets of taco seasoning instead of Italian herbs, cooked ground beef instead of Italian sausage, and also threw in some fresh-squeezed lime juice and some chopped fresh cilantro. Cook that in the slow-cooker all day and you get a ratatouille thick enough to be used as a taco/burrito filling which I serve with chips and watermelon salsa on the side. To make fresh watermelon salsa I chop up some seedless watermelon and mix it with chopped up green and red onions, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, and fresh chopped cilantro 🙂
Comfort food here in the south is anything with cheese, butter, deep fried, sweet, and anything with bacon.
People even add celery leaves and it is pretty good 😋😋
I find this channel comforting….I know I have a issue as well being quiet even when I relle do try hard at it…I’m really fascinated when I see baking videos
This reminds me of Pastina in the Italian culture.
It sort of reminds me of Spätzle, but dried and smaller.
Kegele translates to "little balls".
Thanks for showing us how to make this.
Very interesting. It's almost like a little ball or crumb of noodle dough. Might try that one day.
Our comfort soup 🍲 is chicken noodle. When we have a cold or don't feel good chicken soup is soothing to our tummy.
I am so happy to learn this, Giselle ... tusind tak - a thousand thanks! I love learning recipes like this, and surely appreciate the tip from your head cook. The knowledge gained from her years of experience is so valuable.
We have something similar in switzerland☺️ we call it flädli-soppe
