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
