It's Tuesday here, and a cold one in New England for sure! Raw, damp and overall blecht. Naturally this weather makes me think of soup, and coincidentally, a few folks have asked...what the HECK is Irish Stone Soup?
So on this dank, dark day, I share with you my recipe for stone soup:
(few) of any veggie you may have (carrots, snow peas, asparagus, broccoli etc)
(one) of anything you may such as onion, cabbage - chopped
broth - if you have chicken stock great, or beef stock, fantastic...if not stone soup takes on a new life. Substitute any of the following, soy sauce, spaghetti sauce, water, broth from another can of soup in the house mixed with water, or anything you may have. This is the basic idea for stone soup broth, get creative, what sounds gross will probably taste amazing!
Meat can also be added if you have any...hamburger, chicken, steak, anything if not, a clean stone will do. A virtual one please. This is the main ingredient of stone soup. As it is made with whatever you may have, even with the thinnest cupboards.
Pasta which can naturally be substituted for rice, tortellini, or anything else from raman noodles to spaghetti o's.
Seasoning is also key here, basil, garlic (again if you have it), bay leaves, salt, pepper...whatever ya got that will make the house smell good and warm it up with your bubbling caldron of stone soup.
COOK - as long as you like really.....
MMMMMMM ENJOY!
Cheers, Chris =)
Let me know who has made this (and I know at least some of you have) and what other ingredients have rocked your stone soup world!
