Ingredients

Soup
2 pounds beef, short ribs or chuck with bone-in
2 large onions sliced
4 stalks celery sliced
4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 quarts water
2 Carrots, carrots halved, pared
3 each tomatoes chopped
4 sprigs parsley leaves
Liver balls
1/2 pound beef liver ground
1 cup bread crumbs dried
3 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
2 large eggs
1/4 cup parsley leaves snipped
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon marjoram dried
1/8 teaspoon mace
1 clove garlic minced

Directions

SOUP: Wash meat; place in large kettle; add onions and celery (include tops), salt, pepper and water.

Cover; bring to a boil; then skim off scum.

Reduce heat so meat just simmers; then cook 1 1/2 hours.

Add carrots, tomatoes, and parsley; cook 1 hour or until meat is tender.

Meanwhile, make liver balls.

LIVER BALLS: Combine liver with bread crumbs, flour, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, marjoram, mace and garlic.

Let stand until soup is done; then shape into balls about the size of golf balls.

Remove tender meat, bone, and carrots from soup; cut meat and carrots into bite-sized pieces; return to soup.

Then bring soup to a boil; drop in liver balls, cover; cook 10 minutes.

Serve.

This was very good! Thanks! I did end up using more fish sause and a little soy sause and garlic salt for flavour. My son ate his whole plate and asked for seconds, and so did my husband. Awesome!
