• 1 medium sized elephant (African is best)
• 5 quarts peanut oil (optional)
• 5 quarts peanut oil (optional)
• 500 bushels of potatoes
• 200 bushels carrots
• 100 kg onions, heaped
• 50 kg salt
• 100 kg black pepper
• 10L vinegar
• 1500L water
• 2 Large Jack Rabbits
• 3000 sprigs parsley, chopped fine

Cut elephant into bite sized pieces. (This will take 2 months). Chop vegetables (another 2 months). Saute elephant in peanut oil until browned on all sides. (You don’t have to use peanut oil, but I think the elephant would prefer it.) Cover with water and add seasonings. Simmer for 4 weeks. When meat is tender, add in the vegetables. Simmer for another 4 weeks. Garnish with parsley.

If unexpected guests arrive, add the two rabbits. This is optional and only as a last resorts….most people frown on finding hares in their soup!!
