Ingredients
Clear Tomato Soup (Consommé)
- Ingredients
- 1 kilogram fully ripe Tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 150 grams Celery root
- 1 carrot
- 1 garlic clove
- 300 grams Lean soup meat (such as beef)
- 4 egg whites
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 tsp peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
- 250 grams Ice cubes
Rinse tomatoes, remove stalks and cut into pieces. Peel onion, celery, carrot and garlic and roughly chop.
Rinse meat, pat dry and chop coarsely. Press meat and prepared vegetables through a meat grinder with medium disk. Mix meat mixture in a bowl with egg whites, salt and sugar. Place meat mixture in a large pot, add peppercorns and bay leaf. Finally, stir in ice cubes, tomato cubes and add about 1 liter (approximately 32 ounces) cold water. Chill overnight.
The next day, bring pot to a boil while stirring. Then reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 1.5 hours. Add water as needed. If necessary, skim off fat and do not stir, so that the liquid remains clear.
Finally, carefully remove meat mixture with a slotted spoon. Strain clarified broth through a fine strainer lined with a cloth strainer sieve.
