I had this Leberknödelsuppe or in English Liver dumpling soup many times growing up. It is usually found on a Franconian dinner table
My mother had a Fleischwolf (meat grinder) to make the Leberknoedel back then, as you see on the picture below. You can use your food processor, but I highly recommend a Ninja mixer.

It’s my mothers recipe, and a Franconian speciality. I use my Ninja mixer, but any food processor will also grind the liver.
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese, onion, parsley, and seasonings and process until smooth.
- Add the breadcrumbs and egg and process until well mixed.
- Form dumplings, adding more bread crumbs (or flour) if needed, for dumplings to hold together.
- Bring broth to boil.
- Add dumplings and reduce heat to a simmer.
- Dumplings will float to the top when ready
Notes
Keeps in the fridge for several days, and it probably even taste better the next day.
