OL' FASHIONED STONE SOUP



Ol' Fashioned Stone Soup image

There are so many versions of stone soup AND the story of stone soup, but preparation of it is a group affair, & ingredients can be anything that works for you! This particular recipe comes from familyfun.go.com, & it's a great group activity. Two versions of the story can be found online, one at http://stonesoup.esd.ornl.gov & another one at www.thatsmyhome.com . Reading the story to the group is part of it all! The FIRST INGREDIENT--which I'm unable to list properly--should be "1 LARGE stone, preferrably quartz, because it won't break down during cooking."

Steps:

  • In another LARGE pot, melt butter or heat the oil, then saute onion on medium-high for 2-4 minutes. Stir in celery, carrot, potatoes & bell pepper, sauteeing 6-8 minutes.
  • Add garlic & saute about 30 seconds, then pour the broth into the LARGE pot.
  • Use tongs, ladle or large spoon to fish out the hot 'stone' & put it into the LARGE pot.
  • Heat to boiling.

  • Season to taste with salt & pepper.
  • Before serving, sprinkle on cheese & croutons, then ladle--minus the stone--into individual bowls.

STONE SOUP

a yummy vegetable beef soup, the tomato juice makes all the difference- i use vegetable juice. I think the name is derived from a story of all these friends making soup together. They start with a stone, and all add in one ingredient, until they have a meal they can share together. Isn't that heartwarming??? i got this recipe from my friend Sue. I like to serve this with my recipe for Ags Muffins to complete the meal

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your soup will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, potatoes, turnips, and parsnips.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of your soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaves, garlic, and pepper.
  • Use a good quality stock. The stock is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can make your own stock or use a store-bought stock.
  • Simmer your soup for a long time. The longer you simmer your soup, the more flavorful it will be. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for even longer if you have the time.
  • Serve your soup with a variety of toppings. Some good options include croutons, grated cheese, sour cream, and chopped herbs.
