This dish is an ideal choice for cold winter days when you crave something warm and filling. Liver Dumpling Soup is a popular dish in Hungarian households, prepared by many families the same way for decades.
This soup is a true comfort food, which can quickly become a family favorite due to its rich flavors and easy-to-prepare recipe.
Clean the chicken liver and finely chop it.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent. Add the chicken liver and cook until tender.
In a bowl, combine the cooked liver with the egg, breadcrumbs, flour, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to create a soft dumpling batter.
Set the batter aside to rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the water or stock to a boil. Add the peeled and sliced vegetables (carrots, parsnip, celeriac). Cook until the vegetables are tender.
Using a tablespoon, form dumplings from the rested batter and carefully drop them into the simmering soup. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
