OL' FASHIONED STONE SOUP

Ol' Fashioned Stone Soup image

There are so many versions of stone soup AND the story of stone soup, but preparation of it is a group affair, & ingredients can be anything that works for you! This particular recipe comes from familyfun.go.com, & it's a great group activity. Two versions of the story can be found online, one at http://stonesoup.esd.ornl.gov & another one at www.thatsmyhome.com . Reading the story to the group is part of it all! The FIRST INGREDIENT--which I'm unable to list properly--should be "1 LARGE stone, preferrably quartz, because it won't break down during cooking."

Add garlic & saute about 30 seconds, then pour the broth into the LARGE pot.
Use tongs, ladle or large spoon to fish out the hot 'stone' & put it into the LARGE pot.
Heat to boiling.
Add zucchini, squash, corn & pasta, cooking another 8 minutes or until the zucchini is the desired softness.
Season to taste with salt & pepper.
Before serving, sprinkle on cheese & croutons, then ladle--minus the stone--into individual bowls.

STONE SOUP

Stone Soup image

This recipe my mother told me about when I was 5 years old and I am passing it down to you all. The key ingredient is the scrubbed stone which is to be placed in the boiling water. Zaar won't recognize the ingredient so when you scrub yours along side the river bank, just plop it into the pot of boiling water. ONCE UPON A TIME,,, there were two unemployed and very poor men who decided to become beggars so they shouldn't starve to death. 'Well', they thought,'this will be easy'. They were turned down at every door and tavern and were shooed out of town. 'Eureka! I have an idea' said one fellow and he proceeded to fill his pot with water from the nearby river. He asked his companion to find a large rock and to scrub it on the rivers edge. The companion did just so and brought it to his friend just as the townspeople were drawing water from the river. The friend put the stone into the boiling water. 'Hey there, you two, just what are you cooking"? The fellow shouted across the river. "Why it's just stone soup! Please my friend, have a taste." So the new friend waded through the water and dipped his spoon into the stone soup. ''Gracious me, this is the best stone soup I have ever tasted! But you know, I have some onions and some beans in my kitchen that would make your stone soup taste spectacular. Would you mind?" ' Why no kind sir if you think it would help my meager soup'. Soon the laundress came over with an apron full of potatoes. 'Excuse me sir but if you are going to put his onions into your stone soup you surely would want my new potatoes to sweeten the taste." ''Well yes, we would...'' One by one the villagers dropped in their offers, a pheasant plucked clean, celery and radishes, rutabagas and turnips and even a haunch of beef. Finally after adding a bottle of fine wine the pot was filled to the top. "Patience dear villagers. As you all know stone soup cannot be rushed, It must simmer the full two hours''. While they waited some went home for honey cakes and loaves of bread and some went for cheese and fruit and even tables and chairs. Soon the hour arrived and the villagers dined on Stone Soup to their hearts content. No one could recall ever eating such delicious stone soup. As dark fell upon them they asked the beggar-men if they would serve stone soup again next midday. No, they lamented, they would be making coin soup and they would love to invite the villagers to dine. Hu-rah! They would bring coins, meat, fowl and cockles and perhaps bread for the coin soup and went home sated and content that they would dine better the next day.

GRANDMA'S STONE SOUP STEW

Grandma's Stone Soup Stew image

A typical dinner at grandma's house often seemed like the work of magic. Just like in the fairy tale, she could conjure up a hearty stew out of almost any cut of meat and whatever root vegetables were on hand. The long, slow braising made even the most affordable pieces of meat taste delicious. And by leaving the skins on the vegetables, she managed to add even more flavor, while avoiding waste.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds pork shoulder or beef chuck cut in 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 large red or yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
4 medium tomatoes, such as plum or vine-ripened style, grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces dry, spicy salami, pepperoni or Spanish-style chorizo cut into thin rounds or strips
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups mixed sweet root vegetables, such as carrots, golden beets, parsnips or sweet potatoes, left unpeeled, cut into in 1/2-inch chunks
1 cup cauliflower florets
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
Toasted crusty bread, such as country loaf, for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil, for serving
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large Dutch with a lid oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the meat generously on all sides with salt and pepper and, working in batches if necessary, add to the pan. Sear the meat until it is well browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Use tongs to help rotate the pieces of meat and remove them to a plate as they are seared. Set meat aside.
Add the onions and peppers to the same Dutch oven and cook until the vegetables start to become tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the grated tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, the onions and peppers have softened completely and most of the moisture has evaporated, another 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the garlic, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
Return the seared meat to the pot along with the root vegetables and sliced salami; stir well. Add the chicken broth and increase the heat to high to bring the stew to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the meat and vegetables are tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower and red-wine vinegar, and continue cooking until the meat is tender enough to pull apart with a fork and the cauliflower is cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes more.
Season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve with toasted rustic bread brushed with olive oil and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
