VEGETABLES CARROTS THANKFUL
SOUP TOMATOES GRATEFUL
ONION YELLOW SHARING
ZUCCHINI PEPPER NOODLES
I was inspired by the book in today's assignment, Stone Soup. I made a word search puzzle using the names of some of the ingredients in vegetable soup. You can make your own word search puzzles too. Here is the link to the site that I used to make the above puzzle.

In the past, it's been a tradition in my class to make vegetable soup after I read aloud the book, Stone Soup. Each child would bring a vegetable to class. The students would take turns washing and cutting the vegetables. While the soup was cooking, the class would write in their journals. They wrote about what it means to be grateful and thankful and what it means to share. Finally, the children would enjoy the soup at their desks, sharing a meal together. (Just like in the story, Stone Soup!)

Vegetable Soup
- washed and chopped vegetables (I used onions, tomatoes, carrots, yellow pepper and zucchini)
- noodles
- salt
- water
Place the washed and chopped vegetables in a large pot. Pour water into the pot until the water covers the vegetables. Put the pot on the stove and turn up the heat to medium-high and wait until the soup starts to boil. Then turn the heat down to low, put the cover on the pot and put the timer on for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the lid from the pot and add salt, a teaspoon at a time, to taste. Then add the noodles and cook until the noodles are done (about 5 minutes).
*** I have made this soup many, many times and the type of vegetables do not matter. Green onions, mushrooms, corn, green beans and potatoes are also good. Sometimes I add a can of beans. It's fun to experiment!
I hope you enjoy making nutritious, homemade soup. Email me photos if you try this recipe!
