Consomme of Chicken Recipe
Consomme is an amazingly delicious broth! The main feature of consom is transparency! The broth is cooked over low heat. At its core, consomme is a twice-cooked rich broth of a beautiful color. Consomme is made from both chicken and beef. In my opinion, this is a universal dish. The broth can be varied with various additives (meat products, vegetables, small pasta, etc.), frozen for the future and added to other dishes.

  4. Add 2-2.5 liters of water. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste. Put the pan on the fire and let the broth boil. At the initial stage, after boiling, foam forms, it should be carefully collected. As soon as the foam stops forming, cover the pan with a lid and cook the broth for about 2 hours on low heat.

  7. Add the protein and the shell to the strained broth. Put the broth on the fire and cook it for 30 minutes. After a while, a dirty-colored foam forms - this egg white collects all the flakes from the broth when folded and makes it transparent.
