====Television==== * [[Jim Henson]]'s ''[[The Storyteller (TV series)|The Storyteller]]'' series contains one tale called "A Story Short", in which the Storyteller himself (played by [[John Hurt]]) is the main character. In the beginning, he arrives at a castle where a man is thrown out for begging for food. He proceeds to trick the King's cook into making stone soup. After the people are happily fed, the cook realizes what has happened and pleads with the King to let him boil the Storyteller in oil, but the King instead offers a way out — to tell him a story every day for a year instead. * The [[PBS Kids]] show ''[[Between the Lions]]'' featured an episode with a version of the story being read. In this version, the strangers were replaced by aliens. * The tale was adapted as an episode of the show ''[[Hungarian Folktales]]''. * A [[:ru:Каша из топора|Soviet cartoon]] based on the Russian variant of the tale was made in 1982. * [[Land of the Lost (1974 TV series)|''Land of the Lost'' (1974 TV series)]] Season 1, Episode 14 is entitled "Stone Soup" in which Marshal (the father) uses Stone Soup to get his children to help gather things for dinner. Ta brings a [[bearded dragon]] (called an [[iguana]]) to the soup, although the second season states that Pakuni are [[vegetarian]]s. * ''[[Little House on the Prairie (TV series)|Little House on the Prairie]]'' Season 8, Episode 13 is entitled "Stone Soup" and has this story as its theme. * ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' Season 9, Episode 13 is entitled "Gimme That Chocolate Milk" and has a short sketch making fun of this parable. In it, the villagers kill the stranger who tricked them into sharing in order to cover up their "communal embarrassment".<ref>{{Citation|title=Robot Chicken - The soup| date=10 January 2020 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg-NG7q_xbU |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/dg-NG7q_xbU| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|language=en|access-date=2021-03-09}}{{cbignore}}</ref> * [[The Walking Dead (season 10)|''The Walking Dead'' Season 10]], Episode 21.
