MAKING A communal soup is a way to get people together ;
~~ and it works, said.a couple who hosted the making of:a —

Métis Stone Soup last weekend at Ferry Island.

Two days earlier, Richard and Bev Hayden, the easygo- 7
_ing couple who live in the Copper River subdivision, gushed 7

about the simplicity of it.

. “The bottom line is you. start with nothing and by com- .
munal effort, (the soup) comes together,” said'Mr. Hayden,

‘a Métis who has lived here since 1967.
To understand ‘the: principle of the Stone Soup, Mrs.
Hayden explained its legend.

A woman and her two kids were ‘travelling across ‘the.
prairies by foot when they stopped i in a village, tired and
hungry. The villagers didn’t feed them, but did supply them
with a pot and some water. With nothing edible to add, the.

woman added some stones.
The villagers’ interest was piqued with the visitors and
their bland soup cooking over fire.

One by one, locals made suggestions to add to the soup; -

everyone wanted to improve it, said Mrs. Hayden.
The locals began to act on their suggestions, one by one

going home and returning brandishing carrots, Potatoes, cab:

bages and meat.
The moral of the story being that by working together,

with everyone contributing what they can, a greater: ‘good.

can be achieved.

’ Described by Mrs. Hayden as a “no pressure event,” she

said she and her husband would be at Ferry Island rain or

shine and those who wanted to join would be welcome.
“We'll be there camping,” she said. “It’s what we do.”

_ Mrs. Hayden, trained in Food Safe, said she starts the -

mm soup by browning the meat and starting the soup stock and
a. continually adding ingredients.

“You put a spoon in and see how it goes,” she said of the

developing taste.

The stones never fail to surprise people, said Mrs.

Hayden.

“(The stones) just ‘about kill people when they find them

at the bottom of the soup!” she says, adding the stones are
cleaned. “We don’t pick them off the side of the road.”

The couple also teaches participants how to make ban-
nock.

. Food, described by Mr. Hayden as “a bonding agent that .
nourishes the body and soul” i is not the only Métis culture

_ on tap.
The music of local fiddler Rene Therrien, who played the
last two years, will be played and with some luck, some jig-
ging will break out.
