Stone Soup

I grew up reading the story of "Stone Soup" by Marcia Brown.  It always made me so sad that no one would share any food with hungry soldiers.  And then I love the ingenuity of the soldiers to finally teach the town's people to share.  Here's the "recipe" of what goes into stone soup from this book.  Just add as much as you like of the ingredients.  Ours always turns out great!
