Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Lilith's Lily Fair Soup This soup was named after Lilith, Adam's 1st wife, because it combines the sweetness of nature's fruits w/the mischievous hint of liqueur. Both of these attributes--sweetness and mischievousness--were part of Lilith's own personality. She was thrown out of the Garden of Eden for being too outspoken and independent. Many people wrongly remember her as a sinful woman, when really her only crime was haing a mind of her own. Today she is honored by Wiccans as a free-speaking woman. Let us remember to speak our truth and have the integrity and wisdom to saturate our words with kindness and diplomacy to be understood and respected. Mangos are excellent for helping throw off distateful body odors and are also a great blood cleanser with fever-soothing qualities. This soup is an excellent souce of vitamin C, with the inclusion of raspberries, orange juice, and honeydew. Honeydew originated in Asia around 2400 B.C. The hightly alkalinizing honeydew is a delightful form of vitamins A & B, as well as C. 1 Mango, peeled & diced 1 small honeydew melon, cut in 1 " cubes 1/4 c. freshly squeezed Orange juice 1 c. sliced Fresh raspberries 1 T. sugar 2 T.

I guess I must apologize for adding it without a disclaimer about the lack of 'spice' but you could always add a little zing to it if you like, you know ;=) Use your imagination! *lol* I'm interested in sweet soups. They often come at the end of a Chinese banquet, for example. On the other hand, fruit soups are big in some parts of Europe - as a start to a meal - in Hungary, for example, I had some great fruit soups. Otherwise, I'd say, that depending on the consistency one wanted to make this Lilith recipe, more or less 'wet', it could also be used as pudding/ dessert ;=) I don't think we are going to be inundated with too many non-spicy dishes on this list. But if it gets outta hand and threatens to tame the list down to an 'ordinary' level (dog forbid!), then we'll have to decide what to do. *lol* For now, I thought this was okay as a one-off, and I am grateful for the generosity of the person posting. Talk again later? Thanks for posting - missed hearing from you!!! gf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Sorry I was unaware that they HAD to be spicy. No there were no spices in the sweet soup. I am sorry it upset anyone. And I will be sure to watch what I post in the future. Again my sincere apologies. Colleen M.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 I didn't mind a bit ;=) It's nice to have something sweet as a contrast to the spicy things ;=) Some of the relishes aren't spicy either - they're there for contrast with the 'hotter' food. Relax ;=) We love ya!!! Best love, gf , " Colleen M. Criswell " < delaneysmama@h...> wrote: > Sorry I was unaware that they HAD to be spicy.
