Babinski’s comment about this soup is “Ce potage est très léger” — “This soup is very light.” Even though the soup has flour, egg, cream, and butter in it, it is indeed quite light./ The original recipe called for chicken consommé, but a rich stock with all the fat removed works just fine.

Recipe's Ingredients

1 egg yolk
fine salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
45 g semolina

60 g chilled butter, diced
70 g heavy cream
1 l chicken stock

Recipe preparation steps
1

Place the stock in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Sprinkle the semolina over the top, stir, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
2

Place the egg yolk and cream in a soup terrine. Whisk the hot stock into the egg yolk and cream. Whisk in the butter and lemon juice. Taste and, if needed, add salt.
Ready !
