Has anyone ever heard of "Stone Soup" or "Rock Soup"? How do you make yours? What do you put in it?

Please give me your recipe and ideas. I am thinking it is a 'throw in the pot' type, but not really sure. Asked by Lollipop_the_Bunny 48 months ago Similar questions: heard Stone Soup Rock make put Food & Drink > Cooking.

Yup, it's a throw it in the pot soup. Different cultures add different ingredients. This case is not vegetarian.

This main-course soup is ideal for winter evenings. It originated in Portugal’s Ribatejo province, famed for its horses, bulls and bullfighters. The soup gets its name from the kidney beans, which are referred to as "stones" by the Portuguese.

Servings: Serves 8. Ingredients 8 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt broth 1 pound linguiça or kielbasa sausage or Spanish chorizo,* diced 1 15 1/4-ounce can kidney beans, drained 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled, diced 1 14 1/2-ounce can diced ready-cut tomatoes 1/2 medium head savoy cabbage, coarsely chopped (about 4 1/2 cups) 1 pound turnips, peeled, diced 2 leeks (white and light green parts only), chopped 2 large carrots, diced 1 small onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 bay leaf *Spanish chorizo is a smoked pork sausage flavored with garlic and spices, and milder than Mexican chorizo. Available at Spanish markets and specialty foods stores.

Preparation Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until soup is thick, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

Bring to simmer before serving. ) Sources: Epicurious. Com .

There's no recipe for stone soup "Stone Soup" is a story about how if everybody brings a little, we can all have something. One version of the story is at the link below. To really make stone soup, you have to play potluck.

Ask a bunch of your friends to all bring over a little something. Put it all in a big pot, fill it with water, bring it to a boil, and simmer until the vegetables are soft. (Make sure somebody brings salt, too).

If you want a vegetarian stock, just tell your friends not to bring over any meat. (It helps to have a cook around who knows that things like brussels sprouts, noodles, herbs, and beets won't stand up to look cooking and should be thrown in at the end rather than long cooking. ) It's really not going to make the best soup you've ever had, unless the communal effort makes for a better meal than the food itself.

If you just want to make soup, look up any of a million recipes for soup. You can make yourself an excellent soup starting with chicken or vegetable stock plus meat, potatoes, carrots, celery, mushrooms, noodles, etc. Cooked until soft.(Noodles go in towards the end). The details of soup take a lifetime to master, but the basics are pretty easy.

For stone soup, though, you have to have friends, creativity, and a little luck. Sources: extremelinux.info/stonesoup/stonesoup.html .

Ironically... Ironically, I saw this on the Rachael Ray show yesterday. I don’t know if this is where you got the idea or this was just really ironic. She made Rock Soup, Portugese style, and it looked yummy!

Ingredients 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus additional for drizzling 3/4 pound chorizo, casings removed and diced 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed 4 ribs celery, chopped 4 carrots, peeled and chopped 1 large onion, chopped 1 rounded teaspoon (about 1/3 palmful) sweet paprika 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated 1 bay leaf, fresh or dried Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained 1 15-ounce can diced or stewed tomatoes 2 tablespoons hot sauce 6 cups chicken broth or stock 2 cups stale bread , cut into bite-size cubes A handful of flat-leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped, optional Yields: 4 servings Preparation Place a medium-size soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons EVOO, about 2 turns of the pan. Add the chorizo (or whatever meat you're using) and cook 2-3 minutes, until crispy. Add the vegetables, paprika, garlic, bay leaf, salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Cook, stirring frequently, for 6-7 minutes, until the onions and celery begin to soften. Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, hot sauce and chicken broth or stock to the pot then raise the heat to bring it up to a bubble. Once bubbling, reduce the heat slightly and simmer the soup until the potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes (cooking time will depend on the size of the potato pieces).

Remove the bay leaf before serving. To serve, place a handful of bread cubes into each of your serving bowls and drizzle them with some EVOO. Ladle the Rock Soup over the croutons and garnish with some fresh herbs.It's a really versitile dish and like you said, it is just kind of a "throw it in the pot" type dish.

It would be very easy to make it vegetarian. If you want to make it vegetarian i'd say follow the above recipe, just sikip the chorizo. Add whatever veggies you like and go with vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

I think the bread cubes in the bottom of the bowl is a really yummy idea. For my ideal soup i'd probably do this: saute the onions, carrots, and celery. I'd maybe add some zuchinni and stewed tomatoes and maybe navy beans or potatoes.

If I wanted extra protein, i'd add some chicken. I'd add some italian flavors with rosemary, thyme, basil, and parsley. Then, add a little parmasean cheese on top of my soup in my bowl.

Or, kind of the same thing except with sweet potatoes..yum! .

This is the tallest of stories ever set free upon the Earth, in hard times when people need hope I think You must use your imagination! Let's say the year was devestating for the harvest like back in history at the onset of the great dust bowl and the depression when food was really expensive and money was in short supply. In order to fight the hunger one would use this tactic of I believe as self preservation.It was said that when asking for food no one had a crumb so the stranger got to thinking, it was his brain storming that came up with using a stone and adding it to boiling water.

Those he asked for food was watching his strange behavior, it was after awhile of good boiling time he pulled out a spoon and tasted his soup saying loudly enough somthings missing. Well the closest of the people with great curiosity asked ,what it was that was missing,salt & pepper so forth and so on........ it all started with imagination! I think that by the time they finished adding that little somthing that was missing a stew was ready.

This soup receipe really does not exist! It is said at a time when someone means times are tough and we must hitch our britches,tighten our belts, lock the piggy bank and get by with what we have.

How to thicken soup when cooking pinto beans.

I forgot to put my turkey in a bag while cooking it how do I keep it moist.

Prepared dressing but put it in the frige without cooking it. How long will it last?

Does cooking grapefruit juice make it ok to take with medicine.

I heard that there is something you can put in liquor that will make it taste awful, safe, harmless. Make alcoholic quit.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
