GANCEL’S CULINARY ENCYCLOPEDIA SOUPS (Potage, Consomme) , Soups in general are made in five different styles; bouillon blanc (white stock), consomme clair, (clear broth), mixed, thickened soup, game and fish. But what¬ ever be the style of the soups, they can be distinguished by the articles employed in making them. One should not forget that the soup makes the success of the dinner. Soup is a most nourishing aliment for invalids, sick people, babies, and children, and should be taken twice a day. A simple bread soup, or more substantial, such as: vegetable .meat, fowl or fish, can be modified to suit one’s desire.
