If you thought consommé was for sick people, you’ll think differently after you try it. It’s deceptively addictive, a rich, clear soup with wonderful, deep flavor. There’s a reason this is a traditional starter at elegant meals; it whets your appetite without filling you up at all.

You can use a food processor to chop the chicken and vegetables together; pieces about ¼ inch in diameter are about right, so don’t overprocess.
