LEBERKNöDELSUPPE (BAVARIAN LIVER DUMPLING SOUP)



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.

I have made this dish using chicken livers and chicken consume and it turns out just as well. It is a bit of trial and error when forming the dumplings so take the time to do the test one first and have some dry breadcrumbs on hand.
