Method

Heat olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat; add onion and garlic, sweating until soft, 4 minutes.
Add the mince, breaking it up, and brown for 5 minutes; pour in the white wine and deglaze, cooking until reduced by half.
Stir in the tomatoes and oregano, bring to a gentle boil, then lower to a simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the potato cubes, continue simmering gently until potatoes are fork‑tender, about 12 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, then strain half the broth into serving bowls, leaving the solids for a rustic garnish.
Serve the clear consommé with a few potato cubes and a spoonful of minced meat for texture.

Use a fine‑mesh sieve and press the solids with the back of a spoon to extract every ounce of flavour without clouding the broth.

Pairs beautifully with Dress in a velvet smoking jacket and listen to a string quartet while sipping the consommé.

So… how was it? Be honest.
