Winter-warmer Soup – We Love God!

You see, if we hold back one tiny speck, we are not yielded. There are no degrees of “yieldedness.” It is all or nothing. If we say that we are yielded in every single area of our life, but are holding back in one tiny area, then we are not yielded. A burnt offering is totally burnt. You do not get a leg to keep for yourself. If we hold back one tiny speck from the Lord, we have not put our all on the altar! Others may never know, but God does. We may LOOK quite spiritual, but if we are holding back “just a little,” we are not yielded. When we put self on the altar, we are reckoning self to be dead – not sick, or lame, or almost dead, but DEAD! Death knows no degrees. We are to put our ALL on the altar.

INGREDIENTS

1		Spanish onion
2		Carrots
1		Turnip/swede
1	lb	Leeks
		Potatoes
		Handful pearl barley/rice
1		Cube vegetable stock
1	t	Dried mixed herbs
		Salt and pepper to taste
		Tomato puree optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a very large saucepan with lid, if possible 2/3 full with cold
water and put it on to boil. This will take a long time, so peel and
chop or slice the onion, carrots, turnip/swede and potatoes. Trim the
leeks, slice down one side, and rinse them thoroughly in cold running
water. Chop them into 1/2 inch rings. Stir the stock cube into the
boiling water. Add all the prepared vegetables, the mixed herbs, and
the pearl barley or rice as you like. Turn down the heat and simmer
gently, stirring occasionally, until the potato has cooked enough to
thicken the soup and all the other vegetables are tender, but still
recognizable. It needs about 40 minutes. Add more water if required,  a
little at a time. Adjust flavor with salt and pepper, and tomato  puree
if liked.
