Leberknödelsuppe (Bavarian Liver Dumpling Soup) image

This is a traditional German recipe from the Bavarian region. You may substitute the beef liver with lamb or pork liver since the recipe I found says those have milder flavors.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 day-old bread rolls (i.e., Kaiser roll would work well)
1/8 liter lukewarm milk (about 6 ounces, or 3/4 cup)
2 eggs, beaten
1 onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Tear the day-old rolls into small pieces, and soak in a bit of cold water.
  • Squeeze out the water, then put the bread into a bowl. Add the milk and allow the bread to soak it up.
  • Beat the eggs, the pour over the milk.
  • Add the onion, liver, parsley, marjoram, lemon zest, salt, pepper and breadcrumbs.
  • Mix together well and knead until it forms a pliable dough. (You may need to add some plain bread crumbs.).

  • Bring about 1.5 liters (50 ounces) of salted water to a boil.
  • Gently add the dumplings and simmer for 20 minutes or until cooked through.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dumplings turned out very dense and heavy. The broth was also a bit too salty for my taste.

The dumplings were a bit dry, but the broth was very flavorful. I would probably make this again, but I would adjust the recipe to make the dumplings more moist.
