The words signify a clear soup with vegetables. See No. 139. When the materials recommended are not available make as rich a broth as can be with the shoulder bone of the beef roast and the "cap" or coarse meat that is upon it and a veal shank. Strain, and remove all grease.

Cut string beans in little diamonds, take an equal quantity of green peas, young carrots and turnips cut to the same size; also two green onions, a summer squash and a small green cucumber; or whatever of the kind can be obtained, all cut small, and about three cupfuls in all to five quarts. Boil the vegetables a few minutes in water. Season the consomme with salt and cayenne, and add two tablespoons of walnut catsup. Drain off the water from the vegetables and put them into the consomme. A heaping teaspoonful of starch may be used to thicken it slightly. Let it boil until clear again.
