Directions

  1. Place the meat in cold water and bring it to a gentle simmer, without boiling vigorously. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
  2. About an hour later, add the cleaned vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2 hours.
  3. Strain the broth and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, remove any fat that has risen to the surface.
  4. Gently whisk the egg whites, add the tomato paste and ground meat, then incorporate everything into the cold broth. Heat very gently, stirring constantly. When the mixture comes to a simmer, stop stirring and let it simmer for 2 hours.
  5. Gently filter through a sieve or a tightly woven cloth. ≈ 3 min
