This dish was inspired by a Bon Appetit vid I watched recently where Zaynab Issa made a 5-ingredient soup featuring store bought dumplings. I've always steamed or fried my dumplings (known in our house as pot stickers), so this came as a revelation. I immediately turned to my Asian food guru-of-the-moment (a.k.a. Marion Grasby) to see if she's made one, and it turned out she has. And so, armed with these two sources, I cobbled up my own pot of soup using techniques from each. The result was warm, soothing, light yet satisfying, and totally wonderful on a cold January night.

Beef liver broth deepens the beef flavor in soups and sauces. A small amount of beef liver broth, the size of an ice cube, is enough to add a rich beefy flavor to a cup of soup.By concentrating beef liver broth with these herbs and spices, and freezing it in cubes, you will have your own condiment ready anytime in the form of frozen cubes.I tested the broth four ways: without herbs or spices, with onion, with onion and garlic and spices, and with onion, garlic and spices and soy sauce. Here is the winning recipe.After the flavor has been extracted, the simmered beef liver and Canadian bacon are mixed with breadcrumbs and herbs to make great liver dumplings for salads, sandwiches and other dishes.#CA2025

I posted my traditional scotch broth recipe a couple of years ago. This one is more or less the same but doesn't use any meat. I love barley but my son Jack can't have it because he's allergic, so if you want to make it gluten-free, just exchange the barley for rice

My mother has made this every other week for as long as I can remember. It is my ultimate comfort food.

I say it serves four but I usually eat two helpings by myself :hungry I topped my beef and sweet potato stew with these and they were so light and fluffy

yum

my family winter fave.

yum!!!pls try!!!

Cold day here in Australia today. Wanted a hot, basic, hearty meal to warm the cockles of my heart. And it did just that.

This recipe is my twist on a classic. Making it in a slow cooker means that I can turn this meal into an easy, mostly hands-off, weeknight meal and it's all still from scratch, so I feel good about serving it to my family. The dumplings are soft and fluffy. This comes together so easily and is hearty and delicious.

My Grannie made delicious scotch broth, thick and hearty and enough for 2 days. It was always best the second day. This recipe can be made gluten free by swapping the barley bits for white long grain rice

I love pork I really like good chicken and dumplings. So I wanted to make pork and Dumplings so I did it.
