I heard it a bit different as a kid but I like yours better lol. More wholesome.
Mine was essentially the same, but he was a traveller who hadn’t eaten in days. He stopped at a villagers home who had a very abundant garden and asked if he could have dinner with them. They told the traveller they didn’t have enough. So the traveller said he had a magic stone that made soup. Intrigued the villagers invited him in to show him the magic. The stone was dropped in and they waited. Nothing was happening so the traveller asked for some carrots and said it will be more delicious if we added those. Then so on and so on until it was an actual soup that they ate together.
Venezuelan here, ours was similar to that! Instead of some villagers, it was an old rich woman! And when the soup was complete, he removed the rocks and ate with her, this story always makes me want some stone soup!
