588—Consommé Montmorency
Have ready one quart of chicken consommé thickened with three tablespoonfuls of poached tapioca, strained through linen.
Prepare eighteen small grooved quenelles of chicken forcemeat. Poach, drain, and put them into the soup-tureen with two tablespoonfuls of very green asparagus-heads and two tablespoonfuls of poached rice, every grain of which should be distinct and separate.
