This is what sin is all about. Sin is all about promising us satisfaction, but it never keeps its promises. It can’t, because we weren’t made to satisfy ourselves. No, all sin does is blind us to the truth… We were made to find our satisfaction in a loving relationship with God, but sin convinces us to spend our lives in a self-loving relationship with ourselves. The tragedy is that in the end it doesn’t even work. Sin leaves us bitter, empty, and filled with regret. Worst of all, it leaves us outside the love of God, the one thing that could have satisfied us. It leaves us exposed to His righteous anger that was provoked by our decision to love anything and everything except Him, the one and only who was worthy of our love.

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel vegetables and cut into small pieces, and together with salt, bay
leaves and peppercorns cook them in 2 qts water till they are almost soft.
Make a roux with butter and flour, cook for only a few minutes, leaving
it very light. Add paprika and whip 1/2 cup cold water into the roux.
Pour roux into the vegetable mixture and bring again to a boil. Reduce
heat to a simmer.
Add fish pieces and fish head, and simmer soup for 10 minutes. Add spawn
and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pour in the vinegar; just before serving stir in the sour cream. Adjust
salt and vinegar to your taste.
Note: During Lent most Hungarians eat a lot of fish. There are almost
always little bits of fish meat, bones and heads left over and that's when
this soup would be a good beginning for a Lenten meal.
