Hearty Consommés

These heavy soups the French seem to enjoy eating after the theater, or in the early-morning hours after a night on the town. With them one has plenty of crusty French bread—and it is quite proper to dunk the bread! A fine Burgundy wine goes well with them.

In this country these hearty soups could be enjoyed for Sunday brunch or supper and would be particularly welcome after an evening of cards.
