What each ingredient does

Consommé
Provides the clear, savory broth that forms the body of the dish.
Green tarragon leaves
Adds a fresh, aromatic anise-like flavour to the hot broth.

The step that matters

Adding the tarragon to the hot consommé. Tarragon's aromatic oils are volatile, so heat drives off flavour quickly. Adding the leaves at the end, just before serving, keeps the herb fresh and aromatic rather than cooked and dull.
