Instructions

1. Cut the onions and garlic into small cubes. Quarter or third the tomatoes, depending on the size.
2. Let the oil get hot in a large saucepan, sweat the onion and garlic cubes until translucent. Then add the fresh diced tomatoes, the canned tomatoes and the tomato juice. Bring to the boil, season with salt, pepper and a little sugar. Add basil as desired. Bring to the boil again, then reduce the heat and simmer covered for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
3. With nylon tights (unused, of course, but washed), knot the legs well under the bottom, cut the legs off yourself. Stretch the part over a coarse sieve. Slowly pour in the cooled tomato mixture and drain. Carefully squeeze out the remaining juice by squeezing the tights. Let the liquid cool down to room temperature.
4. In the meantime, separate the eggs and mix the egg white lightly (the egg yolk is great for various cake recipes!). Stir into the cooled liquid.
5. Put the liquid including the egg white on the stove and bring to the boil. Stir constantly! When the liquid boils, reduce the heat and stir for another 2 minutes. Then stop stirring the simmering liquid for about 2 more minutes. Carefully skim off the resulting foam with a slotted spoon.
6. During the 2 minutes in which there should be no stirring, prepare new nylon tights as described above and put them over the sieve. Insert unchlorinated kitchen towels in 4-fold thickness. Place the sieve on a sufficiently large saucepan and carefully pour in the tomato liquid in stages.
7. The floating parts of the tomatoes bound by the egg white are now sifted out through the kitchen towel and pantyhose so that only the clear tomato consommé ends up in the pot. Of course, instead of tights and paper, you can also use a kitchen sheet (if you have one).
8. The consommé can be reduced a bit if desired and - provided no children can get it - season it with sherry. Deposits according to your wishes and taste.
