Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a cup, soften the gelatin in the water for five minutes. Pour it and the stock into a small saucepan, and stir over low heat until dissolved.

  2. Step 2

    Put the mixture into a food processor, along with the cucumber, scallions and lime juice. Process until mixture is smooth, with a little texture (not a fine puree).

  3. Step 3

    Season with dill, chives, salt and pepper. Add more lime juice if desired. Pour into a bowl, cover and refrigerate three hours or overnight.

  4. Step 4

    When ready to serve, use a large spoon to stir the solids throughout the jellied soup. Scoop it into cups or stemmed glasses, and garnish each with a thin slice of lime.

Step 4, first sentence, "When ready to serve, use a large spoon to stir the solids throughout the jellied soup." is terribly unclear or I'm just not getting it. Specifically, what are the 'solid' that are listed? Any clarifications?
