Ingredients: 10 egg whites; 2 lbs lean ground beef; 1/2 lb chopped onion; 1/4 lb chopped carrot; 1/4 lb chopped celery; 12 ounces diced tomatoes; 5 quarts beef broth; 2 onions, brulee (onions cut in half and caramelized on the cut side); 2 bay leaves; 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/2 teaspoon crushed peppercorn; 8 parsley stems; 2 whole cloves; salt, to taste

Combine egg whites, beef, mirepoix, and tomatoes in a stockpot.

Put spices, except salt, in cheesecloth, tie to seal, and put in broth.

Bring mixture to a simmer (DO NOT BOIL) you should see a little steam over the surface of the broth, but no bubbling, or as few bubbles rising to the surface as possible.

The beef and vegetable mixture will eventually harden and rise to the top.

Break a hole in the beef mixture to allow broth to bubble through.

2 onions, brulee (onions cut in half and caramelized on the cut side)
