Ken's Bone Soup
Bone soup? Is this a joke?
No, it's dirt cheap and highly nutritious. More people should know about this amazing food.
Ask your butcher for some shank bones. Or any cross cut bones. They will give them to you for free, or for very low cost.
Place the bones on a baking tray. Add a splash of olive oil and mix all the bones in the oil. Sprinkle with garlic power, fresh ground pepper, a pinch of salt and a pinch of paprika. Broil in the oven until brown.
Slice some fresh garlic, celery, carrots, ginger and onions and saute in olive oil in a casserole.
Add the bones, chicken stock, water and your favorite fresh herbs. Add some vegetables such as potato, onions and carrots. Then simmer with the lid on for a while. Add more liquid if needed to stop burning. Make sure all the marrow comes out of the bones. Push it out if necessary, this is the incredibly nutricious part of the soup.
Tech Notes:
Most butchers have no use for bones and throw them out. This is how you get amazing deals.
Talk with your supermarket butcher - you might be surprised what you can get.
