The story the reviews tell

Consommé is clarity distilled into a bowl. This French clear soup starts with richly flavored stock—beef, veal, chicken, fish, or game—then undergoes a meticulous clarification process, traditionally using egg whites to lift away fat and sediment until the broth gleams. What emerges is both a finished dish (served hot or chilled on its own) and a foundation: the mother liquor for countless other soups, sauces, and stews.

What makes this version distinct

Consommé (French: [kɔ̃sɔme] () is a type of clear soup made from richly flavoured stock or broth that has been clarified, a process that traditionally uses egg whites to remove fat and sediment. A later technique for clarification employs gelatin filtration. Consommés are most commonly made from beef or veal, but chicken, fish and game variants are recognised in French cuisine. They may be served on their own – hot or chilled – or be used as the basis of many soups, sauces and stews.
