Name: Ecuadorean Potato Soup Ala "Celebracion"
Ingredients: 2 tb Vegetable oil; 1 Onion; (small) chopped; 3 Cloves garlic; minced; 3 Russet potatoes; (large) peeled and sliced (about 5 cups); 20 oz Chicken broth; (2 1/4 cups); 1/2 c Milk; 1 c Cabbage; chopped; 3 Eggs; 8 oz Cottage cheese; 1/2 c Jack cheese; (or any white melting cheese: provolone or mozzarella), 4 ounces (or use up to a cup)

Scripture tells us that the state of an unconverted man is this: he sees no great felicity in the love and communion of God in the life to come, which may draw his heart thither from this present world; but he lives to his carnal self, or to the flesh; and the main bent of his life is, that it may go well with him on earth; and that religion which he has is but a little by the by, lest he should be damned when he can keep the world no longer; so that the world and the flesh are highest in his esteem, and nearest to his heart, and God and glory stand below them, and all their service of God is but a giving him that which the world and flesh can spare. This is the case of every unconverted man; and all who are in this case are in a state of misery.

INGREDIENTS

2	tb	Vegetable oil
1		Onion; (small) chopped
3		Cloves garlic; minced
3		Russet potatoes; (large) peeled and sliced (about 5 cups)
20	oz	Chicken broth; (2 1/4 cups)
1/2	c	Milk
1	c	Cabbage; chopped
3		Eggs
8	oz	Cottage cheese
1/2	c	Jack cheese; (or any white melting cheese: provolone or mozzarella), 4 ounces (or use up to a cup)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cooking potatoes: In a 1 1/2 quart stockpot, warm the oil over medium
high heat.
Saute the onion and garlic until soft. Add the potatoes and chicken broth.
Bring to
a boil, lower the heat, and cook covered until tender, about 30 minutes.
2. Seasoning: Stir the milk and cabbage into the potato mixture.  Cook over
medium
high heat about 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Reduce heat to a
bare
simmer.
3. Poaching eggs: Break the eggs one at a time into a small bowl and slip
them into
the potato soup, being careful not to break the yolks. Cover and simmer 5
additional
minutes.
4. Thickening lorco (yes, that's what is says) and serving: While the eggs
are cooking, mix together the cottage cheese and shredded cheese; stir into
the soup. At
this point the soup should be thick and creamy. Garnish with avocado slices
and season with hot sauce, if desired.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve a generous portion of this delicious, hearty soup
with
biscuits or a good-quality bread. Or use as an ample first- course soup,
followed by
a simply prepared fish (sauteed with butter, capers, and white wine)
accompanied by
a salad of greens and ripe tomato.

A Message from our Provider:

“Death: the end of excuses, the beginning of eternity”

Though woman who choose to abort may be ignoring God's moral standard in the moment, they rarely escape the lifelong guilt and heartache that results from their tragic choice. They have been designed by God as nurturers (cf. 1 Tim. 2:15; Tit. 2:4); they have God's law written on their conscience (cf. Rom. 2:14-15); and they have often been manipulated into their decision by others (perhaps a boyfriend or husband). As a result, they are often scared by feelings of regret and shame even if they do not know the Lord (cf. Psm 32:3-4).
