Directions: |
Directions:The first step is to read aloud the book Marcia Brown's Stone Soup.
Then have your child wash and scrub the stone thoroughly. Then, for extra cleaning, drop it in a pot of water to boil while you prepare the rest of the soup together.
In another large pot, melt the butter, then saute the onion on medium-high for 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the celery, carrot, potatoes and red pepper, sauteeing for 6 t0 8 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for about 30 seconds, then add in the broth. Using the spoon fish out the stone from the other pot, add it to the soup and bring to a boil. Add zucchini, squash and corn and pasta cooking another 8 minutes or until the zucchini is desired softness. Season to taste. Before serving sprinkle on the cheese and croutons. |

Notes: My father use to make this soup over an open campfire adding his own stories about riding the rails (trains). He of course did not add all the same ingredients but chose his favorite. We were always fascinated with the soup and his stories. Enjoy the book and the soup with your kids for memories.
