Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk peppercorns, egg whites, and eggshells until foamy, then set aside.
-
Pulse tomatoes, celery ribs, and ground beef in a food processor until just incorporated.
-
Combine the vegetable-beef mixture, egg mixture, veal stock, thyme, and salt in a large stockpot; bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
-
Once solids form a raft, reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes without stirring, ensuring the raft remains intact to prevent cloudiness.
-
Remove the pot from heat and strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve lined with double cheesecloth; discard the solids. Re-strain the consommé if any particles are present.
-
Serve hot.
