Pasture Chicken; Stock/Soup Starter

Pasture-Raised Chicken Stock Starter

This is where real flavor starts.

Our stock starter is made from ground pasture-raised chicken frames, giving you a powerful base for building broth, stock, soups, sauces, and reductions from scratch. No fillers, no shortcuts—just real chicken, broken down in a way that actually works better in your kitchen.

Unlike whole frames, these are ground before packaging. That changes everything.

Grinding the frames dramatically increases surface area, allowing for more complete extraction of flavor, minerals, gelatin, and collagen during cooking. It also improves pot efficiency—you can fit significantly more chicken by weight into the same space, instead of wasting volume on air gaps and bulky bones.

The result is a richer, deeper, more functional stock with better body and natural thickness—without needing to over-reduce or rely on additives.

Why It Works

• Higher extraction efficiency from increased surface area
• Better pot density allows more pounds per batch
• Improved collagen release for natural body and texture
• Stronger, cleaner chicken flavor without dilution
• Made from pasture-raised birds raised the right way

What You Can Make

Use this as the foundation for:

• Chicken broth or stock
• Gravy and pan sauces
• Soups and stews
• Rice, beans, and braises
• Reduced sauces and concentrates

How to Use

Add to a pot, cover with water, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook low and slow to extract flavor, then strain thoroughly before using. Reduce further if you want a more concentrated result.

This is a foundational ingredient designed to give you full control over your final product—flavor, strength, and consistency are all in your hands.
