  1. two tablespoonfuls of very green asparagus-heads
  2. one quart of chicken consommé thickened
  3. Forcemeat
  4. two tablespoonfuls of poached rice
  5. three tablespoonfuls of poached tapioca

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Have ready one quart of chicken consommé thickened with three tablespoonfuls of poached tapioca, strained through linen.
  2. Prepare eighteen small grooved quenelles of chicken forcemeat.
  3. 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.
