Take a cup of envy,
and mix it with some greed,
season it with hatred,
then add some, woe is me!
Plus one spoon of ego,
marinade in pity,
righteous indignation,
will make the mixture pretty.
Make a quick snap judgement,
blend it with assumption,
now, Prapancha Soup,
is ready for consumption!

That ‘scoop of ego’ will get you every time!
Indeed it will 🙂
What a delightful recipe!
Hehe, I’m not sure I’d recommend it as one of your five a day!
Definitely served cold. Love it. Love your blog.
More of a vicchissoise 🙂 Thanks for the visit and the comment.
Wow! this is strong, we got the right colour, red like blood!
Thank you. The picture is beetroot soup, which is actually gorgeous – though I wouldn’t serve with the random boiled egg!
A dish that is hard to swallow. Nice. Peace. ~ Michael
Thank you Michael – it’s not something that I would recommend 🙂
Nor I. I found it interesting, U wrote using a similar metaphor yesterday in my “Situational Perspectives”. Its amazing what floats around the collective conscious. Peace WW.
Great minds think alike! (We’ll just ignore the last part of the saying!)
Wonderful, Alex. This so puts me in mind of ‘Melting Pot’ by Blue Mink – great song – and this is a great poem 🙂
Aw yes – I’ve not heard that song in ages! 🙂
Love this Alex – very good
Thank you Wendy 🙂
This was one the menu at the Bankers Convention this year – they loved it. You have exposed all that ails the world in a simple soup – well done indeed.
Thank you – and there’s still the main course and desert to follow (probably not humble pie!)
Beautiful piece, Alex. But, I can hardly get the ingredients for this. haha
Oh you are lucky if you can’t find the ingredients! x
Some can be instant also, and some are seasonal ingredients maybe 🙂
Haha very true! 🙂
