Abstract
Storable, royale-like soup garnishes for dry soups are prepared by concentrically co-extruding two paste compositions which are different in color and or flavor. The product is a structurally uniform protein sponge. Each of the two paste compositions contains native protein, raising agent, filler and at least 10% by weight water. Following co-extrusion, the extrudate is subjected to a heat treatment for developing the protein sponge. It is then sliced to form small pieces and the pieces are dried.
