After all our work this summer tending to the Irving garden, I was disappointed I had to miss the stone soup that a local mom/chef whipped up to serve the children today.
Even though I couldn’t be there in person, I was delighted to see this post over at Tales of the Elsmo Four, where Mel shared photos from the soup and blogged about the challenge of “pushing vegetarian vegetable soup to nearly 300 cupcake loving elementary school kids.”
Ha ha. A challenge indeed.
I’m so glad to hear that the kids literally ate it up, enjoying the fruits of their labor with planting and harvesting.
Mel and her partner chef made the stock from veggies from the garden, and finished off the soup with squash, beans, broccoli and carrots from the harvest.
Mel, do let me know if there are any leftovers! And, btw, does that soup tureen have wheels?

I am so glad you were pleased!! I had a couple of students who praised the soup and “ranked it a 9.5 out of 10.” I thought that was very sweet, if not quite generous! I admire all the efforts that went into creating and maintaining that incredible garden…seriously! I was just happy to play a tiny little part in what was clearly a good long growing season. Ron took the left over soup to convert into a family dinner. It was mostly broth…the veggies were almost gone!
