Stone Soup
Description
Stone Soup is a simple recipe involving placing a large stone in a stockpot with water and bringing it to a simmer. The simmering process lasts 30 to 40 minutes over low heat with occasional stirring.
After simmering, the stone is discarded, and the resulting liquid is ladled into bowls. The recipe does not use additional ingredients, so its flavor relies on the water and the cooking process itself.
This preparation references the traditional folk tale concept of Stone Soup, symbolizing community and sharing. Leftover broth can be refrigerated or frozen for future use, although the recipe does not specify added ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 Stone approx 10 inches in diameter
- 2 quarts water
Instructions
- Place stone and water in a large (4 quart or larger) stock pot.
- Bring water to a simmer and maintain low heat for 30-40 minutes. Stir as needed and taste (see article for items we used to stir soup). When ready, remove and discard the stone and ladle soup into separate bowls.
- You can refrigerate or freeze any leftover soup.
