Stone Soup

Today for Joy School the kids and I read the story "Stone Soup."  Then we made some.  I put a stone in a pan of water and had the kids add the ingredients.  It was so fun.  I did cook the veges a little bit a head of time so it wouldn't take as long to cook.  

1 lb ground beef (browned)

1 1/2 cup diced carrots

1 1/2 cup diced potatoes

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup uncooked rice

salt and pepper to taste

6 cups water

1 tsp tyme

6 beef bouillon cubes

Simmer on the stove for about 25 minutes.  Enjoy!
