Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Finely chop the 1 medium onion. In a food processor, combine the 8 oz beef liver, chopped onion, 1 egg, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Pulse until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Bring the 4 cups beef broth to a gentle simmer in a large pot over medium heat.

  3. Step 3

    Using wet hands, shape the liver mixture into 6-8 dumplings, each about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  4. Step 4

    Carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering broth. Cook uncovered at a gentle simmer until they float to the surface and are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the 2 green onions thinly. Ladle the soup into bowls, placing 2 dumplings in each, and garnish with the sliced green onions. Serve hot.
