* In an episode of ''Series/LandOfTheLost'', Rick has had enough of Will and Holly fighting over a trivial issue and pretends to have snapped. By cooking "stone soup" and eliciting their help in finding "a few extra ingredients", the father teaches them what their real priorities ought to be. Later in the episode, he pulls the same trick on the Pakuni leader Taa, though for a different purpose.

* In ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'', PosthumousCharacter [[MasterSwordsman lord Intra]] once found himself as the stranger in one of these, with a twist on the idealistic version: witnessing [[AristocratsAreEvil the cruelty of a lord]] and his men racketing poor villagers after killing their old lieges, he confronts them. After the lord declares that the farmers "could eat stones for all he cares", Intra picks up a rock and answers that [[ExactWords he will feed the people with it]]. First he announces that he will turn it into fire, and by striking his sword with it over dry bushes he builds a fire. Then he announces that he will turn the rock into earth and water, and by using it to dig into the muddy ground and carve bricks, he builds a bread oven; in the hole he dug, he draws muddy water and put it to boil clean over the fire. As the cruel lord warns him that he will not allow Intra to take any grain he stole from the people to make bread, Intra announces that [[PreAsskickingOneLiner he will turn the rock into air]]. By skipping it on the ribcages of the cruel lord's henchmen, he kills them all and they draw their final breath. [[DirtyCoward After the cruel man flees]], Intra reminds the villagers that by working together, even without much more than a rock (which are plentiful and more numerous than tyrants), they can accomplish much.

* A (somewhat) literal example in ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy.'' The people of Ostland are so willing and able to make a meal out of just about anything that there are about the famous "Stone Soup of Ostland," saying that they can make soup with a single stone to avoid wasting perfectly good rocks.
