CLARIFYING CLOUDY CONSOMME

Clarifying Cloudy Consomme: =========================== Mix vegetables with egg whites. When consomme is cold, add the vegetables and egg whites mixture and bring to a boil, then lower the heat. A crust will form on the top. Let the consomme simmer until clear.

Strain by moving crust to the side and pouring through cheese-cloth without breaking the crust.
