Chop onions and add to the saucepan with the tomatoes.

Add canned diced tomatoes to the saucepan.

Chop jalapenos, leaving seeds in one for spice, and add to the saucepan.

Mince garlic and add to the saucepan.

Turn the heat to medium-low and add 1.5 cups of chicken broth to the saucepan.

Add black pepper and a little salt to the saucepan.

Add consomme and mix well, then cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Separate egg yolks from egg whites in a bowl.

Whip the egg whites until fluffy and thick, resembling meringue.

Add the egg yolks to the whipped egg whites and mix gently.

Smash the boiled potatoes, leaving some texture, not completely smooth.

Add 2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour to the smashed potatoes and mix.

Heat oil in a pan for frying the patties.
