Stone Soup

 

For those of you who know the old tale of the hobo who brought a town together with his stone soup.....here is the recipe!

 

You will need:

3-4 cans vegetable broth (or make your own)

6 red potatoes (cut in slices about 1/4-1/2 thick)

3 carrots (peeled and sliced)

1 zucchini (sliced)

1 summer squash (sliced)

1 onion (diced)

3 cloves garlic (mashed through a press)

1 stalk celery (sliced)

1/2 bell pepper (sliced/diced)

1 cup green beans (fresh is best but canned/frozen works)

1 large tomato (chopped up)

1/2 cup peas (again fresh is best but canned/frozen works)

1/2-1 cup corn (frozen works better than canned for some reason)

salt & pepper

small amount of butter or oil for sauteing the veggies

1 small CLEAN and STERILE stone

shredded parmesan cheese

have your child place a stone in a soup pot

 

saute the garlic, onion, green pepper, celery and carrots until the onion is tender

 

add broth

 

add potatoes and squashes

 

bring to a boil and add the remaining ingredients (if you are using fresh veggies you can add them all at the same time.....canned/frozen will turn mushy if added too soon though)

 

cook over medium-low heat until veggies are tender.

 

scoop out the stone.......serve with parmesan cheese on top

Reci, do you have the story? I haven't done a search or anything yet for it. We did it in the Girl Scouts a couple time, but I never had the story in writting.

 

That was one way to bring the people back together though.
