Lilith's Lily Fair Soup

June 6, 2004

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. Grand Marnier

5 Daylilies, rinsed & gently patted dry.

In increments, puree the mango, honeydew & orange juice in a blender or food

processor till smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Rinse the blender clean and puree

the raspberries, sugar & Grand Marnier. Transfer to a bowl. Chill both

mixtures separately for 2 hrs. before serving. Spoon or ladle the melon

mixture into one side of shallow soup bowls. Spoon/ladle the pureed

raspberries on the other side, w/out mixing. Cut 1 daylily into thin strips.

Sprinkle some strips into ea. bowl. Place 1 whole flower in ea. bowl.

:=) Well, most sweet things don't have a lot of spice in them - and we do have

a file up for not so spicy mains. 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!!!

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.
