   Mix for a long time so the soup will have a fine texture. Check the

7. 7

   seasoning and set aside.

   When it is time to eat, heat 2 pans. In the

9. 9

   first one, put the butter. When it gets hot, fry the cubes of

    gingerbread (be careful: they brown quickly.) Once done, put on a paper
