Gloop Soup

This rather unattractive name absolutely describes the texture of this soup, which is slippery, creamy and smooth. It is delicious, and must be the easiest soup in the world to make. It is important, however, to get proper jellied consommé. Recently some brands of consommé have been sold in cans with the legend. Serve hot on the label. This generally means that it will not set when cold. If the soup is liquid melt 7 g/¼ oz powdered gelatine in it and then allow to cool.
