| Consommé, the clear soup is an incredibly simple and refined dish that makes clever use of the crepe which acts as a noodle. I used to serve these as a waiter at The Old VIenna in Austin. See our crepe recipe for Crepes to which you add parsley to a batter and follow the directions on how to make a perfect crepe noodle. |

| Notes
|
Consommé is a clear broth, and not the cloudy beef stock. You can clarify stock by adding a mixture of one egg white, whipped with 1/4 cup warm water. The bits of solids will cling to the egg white. Stir until clear, then strain it.
