Stone Soup

My friend actually adds a clean stone in her soup just for the fun of it, recalling the story Stone Soup. We skip the stone and read the story.

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 pound ground Beef
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
1/2 onion, diced
1 can whole kernel corn, with liquid
2 Knorr beef bullion
5 cups of water
15 shakes salt
15 grinds fresh pepper (twist the grinder 15 times)
garlic salt, to taste
pinch of basil

Directions:

Brown beef, with onion; drain. In a large pot, combine water, raw vegetables, meat mixture, and bullion. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Add corn with liquid. Season. Serve. Great with hot rolls.
