The Path of Stone Soup

"The Path of Stone Soup" will entice you with the sights and sounds of an ancient culinary tradition.

Stone Soup originates in the river system surrounding the Mexican village of San Felipe Usila, located in the state of Oaxaca. This "docu-legend" tells the story of a pre-Hispanic recipe that lives on thanks to the value it holds for the Gachupin Velasco family.

“The community described In "The Path of Stone Soup" is a repository of traditions not only for one people and one region in Mexico — but for all of us. All of us must recommit ourselves to preserving the socio-cultural and physical environments in such places. They are the canary in the mine — alerting us to the need to restore balance in our world.”
