Soup Royale (aka Napkin Soup)

We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self-esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self. Indeed, what could be more ludicrous in a vast and glorious universe like this than a human being, on the speck called earth, standing in front of a mirror trying to find significance in his own self-image? It is a great sadness that this is the gospel of the modern world. The Christian Gospel is about 'the glory of Christ,' not about me. And when it is—in some measure—about me, it is not about my being made much of by God, but about God mercifully enabling me to enjoy making much of Him forever.

small pieces and add to the mixture. Wet a cloth napkin, squeeze out,
and spread it out flat.  Spoon the cheese mixture into the middle of

tight bag. Place the bag into a soup kettle with the 10 cups of
Chicken and Beef broth. Bring to boil, cover, simmer for 2 hours.
