Let's Make Stone Soup

I was watching an episode of Rachel Ray yesterday that I had taped from a few days back and it gave me an idea.  In the episode she talked about the story Stone Soup, where the stranger comes in to town and announces that he is going to make stone soup, and several citizens all give him one ingredient to put into the soup.

I love a good cooking challenge.  I would like everyone to give me one ingredient to put into my soup.  By give me I mean write it down in a comment.  After 3 days I will take all of the ingredients and create a soup recipe or possibly two depending on the variations.  I will then share the soup recipe with everyone.  As part of my challenge, I can use up to 5 additional ingredients, and salt and pepper are freebies.  If anyone else would like to create a soup recipe from the ingredients just let me know and I will post a link to your recipe on my recipe article. 

Please keep the ingredients somewhat reasonable and things that would actually be used in a soup, don't say something like cereal. 

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. 

Thank you in advance for anyone who participates.

Oxtails braised and spiced and then added, would be great with these ingredients. Not peanut butter, but maybe really interesting....Ellen B

That's a lot of stuff in one soup.
K S. Jun 4, 2008, 1:39pm UTC
there is enough stuff listed here to concoct quite a few different types of soup .... I came here because I was the only one that I knew who actually DOES make stone soup ..... and have done so since I was a child, in my grandmother's kitchen .....

my favorite ingredients, if available, are chicken and chicken stock

good luck with your recipes ....
Sarah (I want points) Jun 4, 2008, 1:46pm UTC
Sounds like an interesting idea. You actually going to use all of it??
Ramzy Sweis Jun 4, 2008, 2:36pm UTC
uh
Rae M. Jun 4, 2008, 4:12pm UTC
Sarah, I am going to try, I got more response than I expected to. I wil have to make more than one soup because some I thought would be good cheese based, but the noodles wouldn't go well. Some of the ingredients won't go well with others as well, I am going to try to limit it to 2 soups, but I might have to make 3.

Of all these wonderful suggestions, I related most to:
Cilantro, Tamarind and Salt & Pepper.
