Stone Soup Rideout-Style

It's not really a Stone Soup kind of thing, but I'm reminded of the folk tale every winter when I make a big pot of soup or stew on the wood stove:



Throughout the year, I freeze the bones after some meals (e.g. a chicken carcass, the bone from a leg of lamb) in order to have them on hand for just such an occasion.  When I know we'll be home all day and heating the house with our little wood stove, I'll throw in whatever vegetables we have lying around at that time and, voila, a rustic little house on the prairie experience!

(Truth be told, the rest of the family is only with me in spirit on this one - I wind up eating most of the soup myself as they opt for less, ahem, rustic culinary choices)
