Name: Main Course Soup of Duck, Beetroot and Ceps
Ingredients: 4 tb Butter; 2 md Onions; halved and sliced; 2 Duck legs or breasts; 5 c Chicken stock; 6 oz White cabbage; sliced; 1 1/2 lb Raw beets; chopped; 1/4 c * dried ceps or bay boletus mushrooms; 1 Sprig thyme; 1 cn Butter beans; (14 oz); 2 tb Wine vinegar; Salt; Freshly ground pepper; 2/3 c Sour cream; 2 tb Creamed horseradish; 4 tb Chopped fresh parsley

Colossians 2:11-12 refers to [our true] spiritual circumcision: “In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.” This circumcision does not involve the cutting of the body; it is a cutting away of our old nature. It is a spiritual act and refers to nothing less than salvation, effected by the Holy Spirit. Baptism, mentioned in verse 12, does not replace circumcision; it follows circumcision – and it is clearly a spiritual circumcision that is meant. Baptism, therefore, is a sign of inward, spiritual “circumcision.” This passage also specifies that the new life, represented by baptism, comes “through your faith.” This implies that the one being baptized has the ability to exercise faith. Since infants are not capable of exercising faith, they should not be candidates for baptism.

INSTRUCTIONS

GARNISH
*Ceps and bay boletus are mushrooms from the bolete group which means they
have pores instead of gills on the underside of the caps. The recipe comes
from a European book which says that ceps are probably the most important
commercially dried mushroom.
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan, add the onions and brown lightly. Add
the duck, cover with the stock, then add the cabbage, beets, ceps, thyme
and butter beans. Cover and simmer for 1 1/4 hours.
Skim off as much fat as you can. Remove the pieces of duck, slice into
thick pieces and return to the pan. Add the vinegar and season to taste
with salt and pepper.
Blend together the sour cream and horseradish. Ladle the soup into bowls
and place a dollop of the cream on each. Sprinkle with the parsley and
serve. Makes 4 servings.
