There are thousands of species of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae), occurring worldwide wherever dung is found. Most are edible. Find the dung, and you find the first ingredient of your soup.
Then you must locate a possum liver. They are abundant in the northeast US. Drive along any road at night until you see one trying to cross the road. Straddle it with your car, using the undercarriage to kill it, since hitting it directly with your tire can damage the liver. The alternative is to find an already dead one on the side of the road (the internal temperature should still be above 78 degrees farenheit to ensure freshness).
To make the stock:
Boil the possum carcass (minus the liver) with the dung (found with the beetles) and a couple of old gym socks. Reduce by 1/2. Add the live beetles (head first so you don't hear them scream), stirring occasionally and then add more water. Reduce by 1/3, and add the possum liver, cut into one inch cubes. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes, while the residual heat cooks the liver to a perfect medium temperature.
Cheers!

The state website for Kentucky has 3 versions of this recipe. You can get the beetles off of your local dung pile. Enjoy!

If I have been a dung beetle, I stretch and say 'yet another day of paintings', as I went out the back door to as quickly as lower back initiate cleansing up the back backyard. i could probable be mumbling something approximately, 'why do they must have 3 dogs?'

Dung beetles may not be the best "date food".
