This delicious soup was the 1st course served in 2nd Class on the Titanic. It is made from the same savoury beef consummé that formed the base of Consummé Olga which was served in 1st Class.
This recipe comes from Last Dinner on the Titanic. The fashion for serving tapioca pudding in clarified broth has given way to the better-known custom of floating decoratively cut pieces of Royale custard or noodles in a clear soup.
