Soup Bones?

[SHEL]

When I Picked Up My Beef Yesterday I Had Asked For Soup Bones. Well They Gave Me Soup Bones, But They Are Not Individually Wrapped. I Got A Big Bag Of Bones. Do You Think I Can Boil The Chunck Bones, Take Off The Meat And Then Freeze The Broth For Furture Soup Use?

Re: Soup Bones?

Sure you can. You can also wrap the bones or put in freezer bags and freeze them and use later. I would roast the bones first as browning them in the oven with some seasoning on them will add a lot more flavor and give you a richer, darker broth. I love homemade soup and it is getting colder now so I am thinking of making some myself.
What kind will you make?

We Like Beef Noodle, Beef Veggie And Beef Barley.

I Was Really Disappointed That I Got A Big Clump Of Frozen Bones.

Thanks For The Idea. I Like The Idea Of Putting The Bones In The Oven And Roasting Them. If They Weren't Frozen In A Clump I Wouldn't Worry About Them And Use As I Needed Them.

Don't laugh, but couldn't you 'throw' the bag onto a concrete sidewalk and break them apart that way and then freeze in smaller portions? I love concrete. That's often the way I crack a coconut.

KINDA LIKE WHEN YOU GET A BAG OF ICE AND YOU WANT TO PUT IT INTO A COOLER. YES I WILL TRY THAT. I WOULD LOVE TO NOT HAVE TO COOK THESE ALL AT ONCE. THANKS FOR THE IDEA. SEE THAT IS WHY I ASKED YOU GUYS.

Re: Soup Bones?

If you do not break them apart, thaw, roast and then refreeze. That will work just fine. Use as you want then.

Re: Soup Bones?

Thats how I do it! I get a whole big pile of beef bones, onions, celery, carrots, and roast the whole works. They I boil the whole works, season and freeze in 1 gallon ziplock bags. Then whenever I want to make soup, I just grab a bag of my home-made beef broth. YUM!

I figure I have the freezer space, and it takes the same amount of time to roast and boil 1 gallon or many(yeah I have some very large stock pots).

I do this for my dogs, sometimes buying beef short ribs because they are cheaper than actual marrow bones. I rarely see soup bones any more. Anyhow, I freeze the broth in ice cube trays and take a few out at a time to use on their dog food. And when it's hot in the summer, I give them a cube or two to push around on the floor for a treat. They love it!
