Consommé is a clear, strained soup made from stock. The figures here describe samples from several brands, including beef, game and chicken varieties. It consists mainly of water, with some protein and very little carbohydrate or fat. Per 100g, it contains 95g of water, 2.9g of protein and 1.3g of salt, and provides 51 kJ of energy.

Protein contributes to the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, even though consommé contains only trace amounts of fat and saturated fat. Salt content can vary between products, so labels provide product-specific information. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (6 samples, 6 brands, including beef, game and chicken). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LFRA, Nutrient analysis of miscellaneous foods, 1992.
