button soup

One of our favorite books to read is this old school one that Jeff and his brothers had when they were little.  I think it's a lot like "Stone Soup" but I haven't read that book...this one's cute, and since it has the familiar characters in it, it's sort of a fun change of pace for us...
Tonight, we made button soup ourselves.  Here was our recipe book:

Following close instructions, we got the biggest pot out of the cupboard...
 we filled it with water

 we dropped in a big button
 seasoned it with salt and pepper

 added an old soup bone, carrots, potatoes, radishes, onions, cabbage, cream...and Ivy used her creativity skills and added chocolate chip cookies, etc.  {whatever}
 they stirred and stirred and stirred, and then we enjoyed our very own button soup, Disney style.
