consommé à la Neige de Florence

[French]

Consommé garnished with pasta of the same name. This seems to be an invention of Escoffier, rather than a known pasta in Florence. "is an extremely delicate pasta product, which is used in clear soup. This pasta, which the guests themselves put into their consomme in their soup-plates, is presented in the form of flakes, pure white and very light. Hence its name, "Florentine snow". "
