I’ve been blessed the past 4 months or so to have stumbled into a blogging group of quite amazing people. They’re talented, smart, motivated, fun, kind, giving…and make incredible recipes with mouth-watering photos.
The “social” part of being in the social media world ebbs and flows for me – I get holed up in my own world of this blog for a while and forget about social connections, and then I bounce back. I’m in a “bounce” right now. That can mean I’m spending too much time on Facebook in blogging groups (ahem), but hopefully that’s ultimately a good thing for me learning my craft.
Today, something very productive came out of all that socializing.
A group of over 50 bloggers came together under the tutelage of Pat Robinson of Heal Thyself and Aubrey Griffin of Homegrown and Healthy to compile their favorite nourishing soup recipes. The foreword to the book describes the project this way:
“Stone Soup” is an old folk story in which hungry strangers persuade local people of a town to give them food. It is usually told as a lesson in cooperation, especially amid scarcity. The “Stone Soup” theory – that a fabulous soup can be made from many individual contributions of simple ingredients – is an allegory for community cookbooks across generations.
Long before blogging and social networks, trading recipes has been a way to connect and transfer culture, nourishment and love from the heart of the home (the kitchen) to others. Similarly, each blogger shared his or her best recipe for our recipe collection…and shared their love of cooking real food with your family for your good health!
With special thanks to Pat and Aubrey, who organized a monumental task by nurturing this brainstorm into reality and a hat tip to Starlene of GAPS Diet Journey and Vivian of The Real Food Guide, who worked on formatting and designing, the bloggers of the Community Cookbooks group present…In the spirit of old-fashioned cookbooks compiled by church ladies, you’ll enjoy a new-fangled technological wonder with this collection:

This is a wonderful collection of delicious soup recipes. We made a different soup each night, five days straight and everyone was a winner. I was hesitant about an eBook for recipes but this is user friendly, and I can highlight my favorites, or add notes. Thank you. Hearty lentil is the fav so far.
Please forward your receipt to us at katieATkitchenstewardship.com (replacing the AT with @) and we will send you your download links. We had a couple issues with the links being sent out.
If you’re tired of rice and potatoes (I know I am!) try making soba (buckwheat) noodles! They’re pretty easy — just buckwheat flour and water. You add the very least amount of water you can to make them work, like with pie crust. I roll them thin and then slice them like linguine. They are SO GOOD in chicken soup! They hold up much better than pasta.
Heidi, The recipes aren’t automatically in Plan to Eat, so just like any PDF, you can copy and paste into the “bulk ingredients” part of Plan to Eat and it shouldn’t take too long. I don’t think there is a feature to “input entire PDF” into PTE (although it would be handy, wouldn’t it?). 🙂 Katie

I use the Plan to Eat software, will this book work with that?
