There's a reflexive version of verzehren "sich verzehren" (to pine over, to be consumed with), that aside they can be pretty much used synonymously and interchangeably.
Edit
Actually... One can replace verzehren with konsumieren, but not the other way around. Konsumieren has a wider scope, as administratorHK demonstrated.
