It should fill us with joy, that infinite wisdom guides the affairs of the world. Many of its events are shrouded in darkness and mystery, and inextricable confusion sometimes seems to reign. Often wickedness prevails, and God seems to have forgotten the creatures that He has made. Our own path through life is dark and devious, and beset with difficulties and dangers. How full of consolation is the doctrine, that infinite wisdom directs every event, brings order out of confusion, and light out of darkness, and, to those who love God, causes all things, whatever be their present aspect and apparent tendency, to work together for good.

INSTRUCTIONS

PART A
PART B
PART C
I came home from the Farmer's Market Saturday with 2 bunches of beets, and
I turned to my copy of _Vegetarian Soup Cuisine_ by Jay Solomon (a fave of
mine!) and found an interesting soup that I loved!
I don't have the book with me, but it is something like this (with my
fatfree adaptations):
"Sautee" onions and garlic in wine. Add part "B". Simmer 45 minutes or so,
until all is tender. Add part "C".
let cool slightly, put a portion at a time in the food processor or blender
and process until smooth. (be careful, you will have a huge red mess
otherwise)
Pour back into soup pot and heat gently, serve hot. Garnish with a sprig of
dill or parsley.
(optional - add a dollop of ff yogurt or sour cream on each bowl)
Now - we liked this but found it a bit bland, so I added another 1/2
teaspoon salt and a couple tablespoons prepared horseradish, and voila,
suberp soup.
Jay Soloman has several vegetarian cookbooks, not fatfree but easy to
adapt. I love his Lean Bean Cuisine.
