Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 lb raw beef liver
1 small onion finely chopped
1 Tbsp butter
2 garlic sections crushed
salt and pepper to taste
3 large eggs
finely crushed cracker crumbs
3 qt beef soup broth

Steps:

Add garlic, salt, pepper, eggs and enough cracker crumbs to form a medium dough. Drop by teaspoon full into rapidly boiling soup broth.
