Have a quart of excellent consomme ready; add, in order to thicken slightly, three tablespoonfuls of poached tapioca, very clear.

Put the following garnish in the soup tureen; one tablespoon-ful of white chicken meat cut in fine julienne-fashion, one table-spoonful of small chicken quenelles, and one tablespoonful of lettuce, blanched. Over this pour the boiling consomme and serve at once.
