Inspired by the folk tale of Stone Soup, this soup is extremely easy, surprisingly flavorful, and a great way to use up ingredients.

Fire Cider Slaw

Fire cider is one of my secrets for how to get through winter strong and healthy. Whenever I feel a little something coming on, I take a shot and it clears right up, and I take it preventatively when maladies are going around. While Soil Hued Mojo’s fire cider is much more palatable than my personal brew (which is super spicy and horseradish-y), there is a picky eater in my house that refuses to drink any fire cider when they are sick. So, I devised this recipe to sneak fire cider in without them knowing. ;-) It’s super yummy and a delicious, refreshing topping or side to any meal.
