any idea what recipe my dad is trying to remember?

1. The only soup with meat and Spätzle I know is „Gaisburger Marsch“, which is a local speciality from Stuttgart. It’s with a beef broth, meat, potato and Spätzle.
   Do you know when your dad was in Germany? Was he a soldier?

2. https://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/2178771349793430/Gezupfte-Knoepfle-in-einer-Speck-Bohnensuppe.html

   Could it have been something like this?

3. It almost sounds like a Klösschensuppe, if he were from the east. But since he’s from Stuttgart, it’s probably something similar, just with Spätzle pieces (Nudeln) instead of little Klösschen (Kartoffeln).

4. [Eintropfsuppe? ](https://www.ichkoche.at/omas-eintropfsuppe-rezept-1936)

5. Maybe Flädlesuppe?

6. Maybe griesnockerl Suppe?

7. There is something called “Erasco Spätzletopf” in case he is refering to a soup that is sold in cans. I’m not really sure if you are looking for a recipe or a ready to eat meal in a can.

   Alternatively Spirli-Nudeln mit Fleischklöschen, but sounds like the noodles your father is looking for were smaller:

   There is a soup called “Knöpflesuppe” which consists of “Knöpfle” which are small Spätzle. Knöpflesuppe is usually without meat, but of course you could add meat.

   If you don’t have the means to make Knöpfle yourself, you can also buy them:
