Apple Cream Consomme

A delicate savoury soup. One hostess served this as an alternative to cocktails before her dinner, in Japanese tea cups. I ended up drinking mine, too, and me not a soup lover! You may want to make sure your medium onion is not more than your one small apple since it will overpower it.
