Hot Madrilene Soup Recipes

CONSOMMé MADRILèNE (CHILLED CONSOMMé WITH RED PEPPERS AND TOMATOES) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Season the chicken stock with salt and bring it to a boil. Cut the leeks, celery, and carrots in a fine dice, or brunoise. Chop the tomatoes. Mix the egg whites, lean ground beef, vegetables (leeks, celery, and carrots), and aromatics (herbs, bay leaf, and peppercorns). This mixture is called a raft. Add some water and hot stock to the mixture to bring the temperature of it up. Then, add this mixture to the hot stock and stir it around. Before the mixture comes to a boil, stir the consommé so that the egg whites don't stick to the pot and burn and to ensure the protein is distributed evenly. After it starts to boil, simmer for 1 hour. Don't stir after this. Check the pot to make sure there is a chimney so that the liquid can bubble through. Remove the consommé from underneath the raft. Chill. To prepare the garnish, dice the red bell pepper and place in cold, salted water. Blanch for 10 minutes and chill in an ice bath. Peel, seed, and dice the tomato. To serve, ladle the consommé into a bowl and garnish with the red bell pepper, the tomato, and chervil or parsley.

Strain broth through a fine mesh sieve, combine with the remaining chicken stock and set aside.

Add the chicken stock and reserved shiitakes and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes. Add the pork and tofu and stir to combine. In a small bowl or cup, combine the lime juice and cornstarch and stir until smooth. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the hot soup and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and serve the soup, drizzled with hot chile oil, to taste, and garnished with some of the sliced scallions.
