Stone Soup

 1 small stone
 3-4 cans vegetable broth (or make your own)
 6 red potatoes (cut in slices about 1/4-1/2 thick)
 3 carrots (peeled and sliced)
 1 zucchini (sliced)
 1 summer squash (sliced)
 1 onion (diced)
 3 cloves garlic (mashed through a press)
 1 stalk celery (sliced)
 1/2 bell pepper (sliced/diced)
 1 cup green beans (fresh is best but canned/frozen works)
 1 large tomato (chopped up)
 1/2 cup peas (again fresh is best but canned/frozen works)
 1/2-1 cup corn (frozen works better than canned for some reason)
  salt & pepper
  Butter or oil for sauteing the veggies
  Shredded parmesan cheese
 

Have your child place a stone in a soup pot. Saute the garlic, onion,
green pepper, celery and carrots until the onion is tender. Add broth.
Add potatoes and squashes.  Bring to a boil and add the remaining
ingredients (if you are using fresh veggies you can add them all at the
same time.....canned/frozen will turn mushy if added too soon though)
Cook over medium-low heat until veggies are tender. Scoop out the
stone.......serve with parmesan cheese on top.   Enjoy!
