Love Soup Recipe! Made with Real Hearts!

Working on formatting all my recipes. Here’s one that my family calls meilasriuba, or Love Soup. We usually make it with chicken hearts and gizzards, or beef heart - yum!

Some of you know about my family’s Sunday dinner seances, and this is a recipe that would be perfect on the table as an entree. Lore says you can eat it to learn of (or even control!) your mate. Others use it like I do — not to control anyone, but to attract love or abundance or success. Just enjoy it and think of desired outcomes, or philosophize over a tasty bowl for some divine inspiration. Besides, we creatures of the night like a little gore with our love enchantments.

I made a tiktok video about it too!

You can use chicken hearts, cow hearts, any kind of animal really. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, try chopping up an eggplant. Yes, I realize that’s a whole other body part. But it’s the symbolism that counts. 🤣

ChatGPT helps me format my recipes for blog use. I love how pretty it looks here, ngl!

🫀 Lazy Love Soup (Crockpot – My Way)

Real food! Made with hearts, beans, and whatever I’ve got.

⸻

🛒 What I Use (Base for 3 people):

• 1–1.5 lbs chicken hearts/giblets 

• 1 can black-eyed peas (drained)

• 1 can lentils (drained)

• 2 can seasoned chopped tomato (I like the garlic ones)

• 1–2 cups mushrooms (chop if you want, I don’t)

• 1 tsp paprika

• A big-ass pinch of rosemary

• Another big-ass pinch of black pepper

• Salt to taste (I don’t add)

• (Optional: Butter at the end)

👥 More people?

Add 1 more can of beans per person. That’s it.

⸻

🍲 How I Do It:

1. Dump it all in the crockpot.

No water. The tomatoes bring their own.

Stir once to mix it up.

2. Cook it down:

• Low for 6–7 hours

• High for 3.5–4 hours

The beans break down and thicken the broth. No paste needed.

3. Taste it at the end.

Add salt if it needs it. Butter if you want. You’ll know.

4. Serve it how you feel:

• Over jasmine rice with a pat of butter — like Grandma.

• Or just slurp it down straight. Thick, soft, and soul-warming.

📝 Notes:

No garlic? No problem — the tomatoes have stuff in there.

No rice? That’s okay. You don’t really need it.
