Mineral Soup

Mineral soups are a staple of Rocklin  culture, they are delicious foods made from ground up stones and rocks, mixed with angril paste to create a source of food packed with vital nutrients for the small race of creatures.    

Historical Origin

The origins of mineral soup dates back over 6 thousand years ago. When a group of miners showed the high king a small selection of the new minerals they discovered, the king ordered the chef to come over and examine them. The king declared to make it a food, despite them not eating rocks, only crops grown on the shores of the island.   The chef brought the minerals to the kitchen, and placed them in a giant mortar and pestle. He ground them together for at least ten minutes, giving the chef a real sweat. She added a small amount of angril paste to bring the ground minerals together, forming a thick paste of coloured substances. The chef brought the soup back to the king, and he spent a minute looking at it, examining it, before taking a silver spoon and eating some.
Golly, this soup is delicious! Make me more!
— King to the Chef
The King, chef and miners were all delighted, and the King declared to make this an important food of Rocklin culture. Quickly, all miner's main goals were to mine for these minerals and new minerals, and they would be delivered to the chefs to create this mineral soup. The soup became a staple of rocklins, and became their main food source.
Recipe
100g assorted minerals - preferably multiple types
50g angril paste
Place the minerals in a mortar and pestle and grind until powdered.
Add in the angril paste.

Question: how does it taste? Is it edible for other races? Or is it the equivalent of eating rock sludge?

It tastes bitter and exactly like eating rock soup, and it would be edible for the rock golems but not anyone else I doubt. :)
