Sopa da Pedra, made from simple and inexpensive ingredients, is a tale that resonates profoundly in a struggling global economy that has forced people to take a step back and conserve and create from that which they absolutely need.

To make the soup yourself, I have included the translated recipe of Sopa da Pedra de Almeirim for your reference. There are also variations of the recipe from other regions in Portugal which include cabbage, carrots and pasta, but I like this one the best.
