What Consomé means
Consomé is a Mexican soup or stew name of French origin meaning "clear broth". It comes from French consommé (consummated, reduced to completion). It is pronounced kon-soh-MEH, and it is most associated with the whole country.
French kitchen vocabulary entered Mexico in the nineteenth century. In a birrería, consomé is the strained cooking broth served alongside the tacos.
This is a site about what Mexican words mean, so there is no recipe here. For the name itself: Pozole, menudo, birria, caldo. Mexican soup names are blunt and descriptive: menudo means "the small things", the offal that goes in it, and pozole comes from a Nahuatl word for foam, describing how the hominy blooms open as it cooks.
