Cooking method

Festive and wedding version of Leberknoedelsuppe soup
Hochzeitssuppe or Festtagssuppe is certainly served not only at wedding dinners in Franconia (southeast Germany), but also on other holidays.
This soup is a strong, aromatic broth with boiled dumplings and thinly sliced pancakes. There are a lot of varieties of dumplings, but one of the favorites is soup with liver dumplings.
Cooking.
Cook in advance a rich beef broth.
Tear well-stale slices of white bread into pieces and fill with milk or cream.
In a skillet in butter, pass the chopped
onions until transparent. As soon as the onion starts to turn golden, add finely chopped parsley and simmer for a couple of minutes under the lid.
Scroll the liver, onion and bread through a meat grinder with small holes, add marjoram, ground pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and eggs. We knead the minced meat well. If it turns out to be very liquid, add ground crackers or a spoonful of semolina) Put the minced meat in the refrigerator to thicken.
We bake pancakes according to your favorite recipe. (Today I have this: 50 ml of milk, 50 ml of kefir, 50 ml of water, 2 eggs, 150 g of flour, 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, a pinch of soda. Mix everything in a blender and add a couple of spoons of boiling water. Bake immediately, stirring in a tablespoon of vegetable oil.)
Cut the cooled pancakes into thin strips.
Add new greens (a branch of celery or parsley) to the boiling broth and lower the dumplings formed with wet hands in the form of balls the size of a large egg.
Bring to a boil, immediately reduce heat and cook until cooked for 15-20 minutes. After surfacing, the dumplings must be kept for another five minutes on the lowest heat.
Pour the broth into a bowl, add the chopped pancake, put the dumplings in the center, sprinkle with green onions, preferably chives.
