Stone Soup

This is one of our favorite books, there are so many different versions to love. I decided the best way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers was to make soup. We went to the store and picked out more veggies like a rutabega and parsnips, as well as a cauliflower, egg noodles and a zucchini. Then the kids both got to add a thoroughly washed stone and took turns adding our ingredients. We used the above ingredients and the following leftovers: chicken stock, gravy, carrots, yams, green onions, tomato, and extra water. This was a great way to get the kids excited about eating new foods, especially veggies. Will loved the soup and ate 2 bowls. I liked it but not the parsnips; the rutabega was my favorite. Ruth didn't especially love the soup, but she finished her bowl and said that she liked the parsnips best.
