God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Many a good and righteous cause on earth has been lost by the death of its advocate. But our Advocate, as He is without beginning of days, is without end of years. As the tinkling bells of the High Priest’s vestments were heard by the crowd in the outer court, while he himself was ministering within the veil – the sound conveying to them the assurance that he was still engaged in the solemn act of intercession – so the ear of faith can still catch up the music of these sacred chimes – these silver bells in heaven – “Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!”
Asparagus, trimmed, peeled and cut (1 inch pieces)
Salt and pepper
1
qt
Chicken broth
4
Eggs
1/2
c
Freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese
6
sl
Italian bread, toasted
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil and garlic in a soup pot until the garlic is golden. Add the
asparagus and cook until they begin to color. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the broth and bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer for 15
minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
Beat the eggs and cheese together. When the asparagus is tender, reduce
the heat so the soup is no longer simmering. Very slowly ladle some of the
hot soup into the beaten eggs, stirring continuously. After adding about 2
cups of the hot soup to the eggs, reverse the process and gradually stir
the eggs mixture into the soup pot. The soup must not boil or the eggs will
scramble. Heat until thickened.
Put one slice of toasted bread into each soup dish. Ladle the hot soup on
top and pass additional grated cheese.
Serves 6.
NOTE: To trim asparagus, hold the tip in one hand and the base of the
stalk in the other. Bend gently. The asparagus will snap, leaving the
tender part with the tip.
