Soup and Consomme

Today was another day of soups. We made a traditional french onion soup and a beef consomme. 
The consomme is long process, of insuring the result is a clear broth. This is done through the use of egg white, bring all ingredients to the surface to create a 'raft', which then allows the solids to separate out from the liquid stock, without sediment. Then it is a process of skimming and ensuring you have a clear stock!
