Darby's Stone Soup

Stone soup is not my favorite food, but is one of them. I like it because it has strong flavors. It is warm and fills your belly quickly. Stone soup is even better the next day when all the flavors saturate together and combine. I enjoy sharing this dish with my family on cold rainy nights.
