INSTRUCTIONS

TO GARNISH
Roast the whole peppers in the oven at 200C/400F/gas 6 for approximately 30
minutes. This will soften and sweeten the flavours and make it easier to
remove the skin. Cut the peppers into chunks.
In a large heavy based pan gently cook together the garlic, onion and oil,
being careful not to let them brown as the colour of the soup is so
important. This slow initial cooking should take 6-7 minutes until the
onions are softened.
Peel the peppers, cut into chunks and add to the pan. Toss around until
coated but again be careful not to let them brown. Add the oregano and
stock to the soup. Put the lid on top and leave to simmer for approximately
20 minutes until the vegetables are soft and well blended. Mix in the food
processor then return to the pot.
Adjust the seasoning and consistency of the soup with the stock. There is
no flour used as a thickener in the soup as it would spoil the colour.
Serve hot with a swirl of yoghurt or even a dash of sherry.

A Message from our Provider:

“Peace starts with a smile.”

Our self-abnegation is thus not for our own sake but for the sake of others. And thus it is not to mere self-denial that Christ calls us but specifically to self-sacrifice, not to unselfing ourselves but to unselfishing ourselves. Self-denial for its own sake is in its very nature ascetic, monkish. It concentrates our whole attention on self—self-knowledge, self-control - and can therefore eventuate in nothing other than the very apotheosis of selfishness. At best it succeeds only in subjecting the outer self to the inner self or the lower self to the higher self, and only the more surely falls into the slough of self-seeking, that it partially conceals the selfishness of its goal by refining its ideal of self and excluding its grosser and more outward elements. Self-denial, then, drives to the cloister, narrows and contracts the soul, murders within us all innocent desires, dries up all the springs of sympathy, and nurses and coddles our self-importance until we grow so great in our own esteem as to be careless of the trials and sufferings, the joys and aspirations, the strivings and failures and successes of our fellow-men. Self-denial, thus understood, will make us cold, hard, unsympathetic—proud, arrogant, self-esteeming—fanatical, overbearing, cruel. It may make monks and Stoics, it cannot make Christians.
