Stone Soup

Due to an unfortunate virus, Joe Frank was obliged to miss an important event at Kindergarten today: 

The Making of Stone Soup.

He was so disappointed to miss out that I suggested we make it at home.  Unfortunately, this particular recipe is not part of my usual repertoire.  I knew it had something to do with rocks and something to do with a story but that was the extent of my know-how. (Despite Joe's cryptic impressions of his days at school, he is perpetually frustrated with my lack of knowledge on subjects such as stone soup.)

So I Google-ed it and found a selection of recipes.  Thank you Internet!  You have saved my credibility for another day. 

It does indeed involve a rock.  And it does indeed have a lovely Thanksgiving story (though I'm still fuzzy on those details).  The best part was that Joe Frank ate the healthiest meal he's had in a week, all because he cooked it himself. 

Boiling the rock and browning the onions.
