Consommé is a clear, flavorful soup made by clarifying a rich stock or broth, typically beef, chicken, or vegetable-based. Originating from French cuisine, it is celebrated for its refined taste and elegant appearance. The preparation involves simmering stock with egg whites, lean meat, and vegetables, which act as a filter to trap impurities, resulting in a crystal-clear liquid. Consommé is often served as a first course in fine dining or used as a base for other dishes. Nutritionally, it is low in calories and fat, making it a suitable option for lighter meals. However, consommé can be high in sodium depending on the seasoning and preparation method, which should be considered for those monitoring salt intake. Rich in protein when meat-based, consommé is an excellent option for comfort food or as part of a balanced, low-calorie diet.
