potage
Definition:
[poh-TAHZH] The French have three separate words for soup. Consommé is a clear, thin broth. Soupe refers to a thick, hearty mélange with chunks of food. Potage falls somewhere between the first two in texture and thickness. A potage is usually pureed and is often thickened slightly with cream or egg yolks. Today, the words soupe and potage are often used interchangeably.
