- 1/4 parsley

- 2 lb short ribs

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.
