Remove fat; take out the jelly, avoiding the settlings. Mix in well beaten egg yolks. Boil quickly for ½ minute, remove from heat. Skim off top, being careful not to stir soup. Pass thru a jelly bag; ut should be very clear. Reheat just prior to serving, adding 1 tablespoon caramel to give it a rich color and flavor.
