This is a flexible, nourishing soup made for cold days, long chores, and using what you’ve got. It starts with homemade chicken broth and leftover chicken, then builds layers with root vegetables, beans, and greens. Simple, filling, and deeply comforting.

A simple, flavorful brine designed to keep pasture-raised chicken juicy, tender, and well-seasoned without covering up the natural flavor of the meat. Fresh herbs, lemon, garlic, and a touch of honey help the meat retain moisture and balance the salt. This brine works just as well for individual cuts – leg quarters, breasts, thighs, or wings – simply adjust the brine volume and brining time based on the size and thickness of the pieces. Get creative with the herbs. Use what you have and what you like!

This slow-cooked broth is deeply nourishing, made from our pasture-raised chicken backs, necks, and collagen-rich feet. As it simmers for hours with garden-grown tomatoes, peppers, along with carrots, celery, onion, and garlic, it draws out vital nutrients like gelatin, collagen, and minerals that support joint, skin, and gut health. Perfect as a comforting sip or a rich base for soups and stews.
