Name: Rasputin's Codfish Soup
Ingredients: 2 sm Whole codfish OR; 1 1/2 lb Codfish fillets; 1 c Milk; 1 c Heavy whipping cream; Salt; Pepper

The man who carries on an act of impurity is not simply breaking a human code, nor even sinning against the God who at some time in the past gave him the gift of the Spirit. He is sinning against the God who is present at that moment, against One who continually gives the Spirit. The impure act is an act of despite against God’s good gift at the very moment it is being proffered… This sin is seen in its true light only when it is seen as a preference for impurity rather than a Spirit who is holy.

INSTRUCTIONS

This is a toned-down version of the soup that Rasputin always said
gave him his health, vigor ... and virility. It was, according to his
daughter, his favorite dish. "Restaurants in Petrograd and Moscow
would prepare the concoction whenever they expected Rasputin to
dine." Paprika and minced ginger usually went into his recipe.
Clean codfish. Remove head and cut fish into fillets. Remove fish
bones. Cut fillets into 2" pieces and place in saucepan. Add milk and
whipping cream. Place over medium heat and bring to scalding
temperature. Do not boil.
Reduce heat and continue simmering until fish is done. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. Ladle into soup bowls and serve hot.
Makes about 1 quart, or 4 servings.
