Stone Soup

Here we are creating our own stone soup after reading the folk tale Stone Soup!  We loved the story about a group of soldiers who trick a town of people into giving them food by teaching them how to make a secret recipe called stone soup!  We followed the recipe just as it was in the book -

We began with vegetable stock and added barley...

 

cabbage...

 

carrots...

 

cream...

 

meat...

 

potatoes...

 

salt and pepper...

 

and REAL stones!

 

 

We stirred all the ingredients together.

 

 

 

After cooking for cooking for 5 hours, the soup went from this:

 

 

to this!

 

The room smelled so good all day long!  Now it was time to eat!

 

We loved our stone soup!  Food always tastes better when you make it yourself!
