California Farm Chicken Liver Dumpling Matzo Soup with Croutons
The perfect student dinner dish, only an inexpensive carbon steel wok needed and an electric hot plate.
This was originally a dish from the city of Vienna. After restaurant kitchens close there at night, they used to mix leftover bread or Matzo crackers with perishable leftover meats like chicken livers, added onions and made dumplings for soup to serve the next day. At night, students could get a bowl of liver dumpling soup at the kitchen back door for 25 cents.

As students in Vienna, Austria, we would go to the local restaurant after closing time, where they served a delicious leftover liver dumpling soup that is a meal in itself. Strong, rich broth, flavorful meatball dumplings that dont have a liver flavor at all. The secret is using fresh full milk in the recipe.

Dumpling soup in miso broth Dumpling soup in miso broth
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.
