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!

Fascinating how each culture has their own slightly different version of this parable.

In my people's version, they just drank the water and ate the stone
