This recipe was extracted from Soyer's standard cookery (1912) by Nicolas Soyer, page 28. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Consomme Colombine. Prepare a good tablespoonful of carrot pearls and one of turnip pearls, keeping the latter very white. Cook them in the ordinary way, and put them in the soup-tureen with one table- spoonful of very green peas, one tablespoonful of a julienne of roast pigeon fillets, and six poached pigeons' eggs, which latter should be sent to the table in a timbale at the same time as the consomme. Pour over the other garnish one quart of very clear boiling chicken consomme

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
