Consommé with poached eggs

6 eggs
1 quart consommé

Break the eggs carefully into boiling water, taking care that they do not run into each other. Cook until firmly set, but not hard. Take them out, put them on a dish, and trim neatly. Put them in a soup tureen and gently pour over them the hot consommé. Finely chopped and cooked vegetables may be added to the consommé.
