Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for April 24, 2009

Repeat after me: “DUUUUUUUUH!”

Don’t forget to add the stone.

Of course, it can’t be just any stone… it has to be a magic stone!

Also works well with fresh chicken, Joan (as Evie knows, and you may soon “discover”)!

Boy, she cooks a lot, doesn’t she??

It’s exciting when you learn how to cook on the cheap especially when it comes out delicious. I love a good pinto bean soup with some carrots, potatoes, onion and ham. Cornbread on the side, yum!

Soup brings out the artist in me. Though you do have to watch what you put in to it. My brother-in -law got “inventive” and had to throw out the whole batch.

I spent the better part of 20 years making exclusively vegan soups for the workplace–and now I make more soups with meats in them than I did for decades. Still, the only pots I ever threw out I had managed to burn the soup–that’s a bad feeling.

Also, if one adds some chili-powder and turmeric into the soup–the result is a chicken curry!

Excellent with dinner-rolls, cornbread, or pitas.

i love split pea soup. she is so excited in this one. lol

i remember when I was a kid I was watching Captain Kangaroo and he was telling a story called incidentally STONE SOUP google it
