About the dish

Speckknödelsuppe is a soup from the Austrian province of Tyrol. It's also popular in the Italian South Tyrol region, where it's called canederli con speck in brodo. The soup features dumplings made from stale bread and bacon, and a clear, (usually beef) broth that is cooked separately. The dumplings are first cooked, then added to the soup which can contain additional ingredients such as carrots and leeks. When ready to serve, this dumpling soup is usually garnished with chopped chives or parsley.
