Stone Soup
I used to make this all the time to get my children involved in cooking and they always seemed to eat more when the cooking process was fun and they helped in the preparation. Now my grandsons love to chop and cook with me and they also seem to eat more when I get them involved in the process. This book was first published when I was a young child and is still available today. For some reason, children love making soup with a stone. Try it with your children and get them to eat their vegetables!

2 HELPFUL HINTS: This is a fun way to introduce children to healthy eating. They will especially enjoy this if they help in the preparation. Our oldest children were 8 and 9 years old when they created this recipe after reading a book called Stone Soup. Stone is optional.
