Stone Soup Cooperative is a housing cooperative created in Chicago, Illinois in 1997. A collective of activists working and living in Chicago began renting a former convent with the goal of creating an intentional community for "Joy and Justice."[1] The cooperative was founded on the principle of the stone soup fable, which resonated with the original 10-12 founders.[2] The story is a lesson in cooperation in which a town comes together to turn a pot of boiling water with a stone in it into a hearty soup that can be shared amongst all its inhabitants by each adding one ingredient.
In 2000, members raised enough money for a down payment on the Leland House[3] and in 2003 the collective jointly purchased Hoyne House.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".Template:^
