California Farm Quick or Traditional Capon Consommé

Capons are large castrated roosters. They taste more refined than chicken. Consommé is a clear broth made from any meat, including capon, eaten as appetizer before dinner. It is made clear with eggwhite that absorbs any impurities in the broth, called “rafting”. We make quick Capon consomme in one hour instead of three hours by using the gizzard, liver, and heart of the capon, not the baked carcass. And add a shot of fortified Marsala wine. The traditional consomme recipe is also listed below.

Easy Consomme Soup with Crunchy Lettuce Easy Consomme Soup with Crunchy Lettuce
I love the texture of fresh lettuce, so wanted to try using it in a soup.Turning off the heat before adding the lettuce ensures that it maintains its crunchy texture. This is great with soy sauce or grated cheese added. I've heard from other users that have tried adding extra ingredients, such as enoki mushrooms, corn, tofu and eggs.

California Farm Capon California Farm Capon
Our Australorb babychicks are usually born in spring, half of them male. We can only keep one rooster, as roosters tend to fight other roosters. The young males have to be butchered before they are mature, at 3 months old, or be castrated. If you raise your own chickens here is a link: farmanimalreport.com. They are then called capons. They grow large and fat and docile, up to 12 pounds, two times as big as chickens.Capons taste different, less like game meat, more delicate, tender meat, juicier than turkey.We stuff the capon with dried prunes and a bruised stalk of lemon grass. We bake tender vegetables in the bird drippings: winter beet, leek, turnip, squash, onion, celery, carrot, and mild spices.Instead of basting, I cover the whole bird with aluminum foil.If you do not use capon for this recipe, you can use a large whole young chicken.#may2026 Hobby Horseman -
California Farm Cauliflower Bisque California Farm Cauliflower Bisque
A bisque is a pureed cream soup with seafood broth and aromatic vegetables. Fresh cauliflower is more fragrant and stronger flavored than the shrimp broth I use, so I call this Cauliflower Bisque instead of shrimp bisque.I use the leaves and the stem of the cauliflower, they have the most intense flavor, and simmer them till their taste comes through, about 1 hour. Your kitchen will start smelling delicious.One cauliflower makes 12 cups. Add six strips of bacon and you have six dinners. Hobby Horseman -

California Farm Aquafaba Soup Dinner California Farm Aquafaba Soup Dinner
Aqua Faba means bean water and is the nourishing thick broth from soaking and cooking dried garbanzo and other beans. It is often thrown away because the foam on top has a bitter taste. We skim the bitter foam off and use the broth, it tastes mild like egg whites in egg drop soups.There is also a fava bean called Aqua Dulce, which is not bitter when soaked and cooked, that can be used with or instead of garbanzo beans.We mixed both beans to make a hearty bean soup dinner served over croutons with poached egg yokes, spiced with harissa sauce and other spices, served with side dishes of pickled cucumber, pickled onions, pickled olives, pickles sweet peppers and chopped cilantro and green onions.If you prefer vegan, you whisk the aqua faba broth till it develops white strings, like eggwhites, use in this soup instead of eggs.#GlobalApron Hobby Horseman
