soup bone

Stock flavor source

A soup bone is a beef or pork bone, often with some meat still attached, used to make stock or broth.

The marrow and connective tissue release flavor and body into the liquid during long simmering.

Butchers sell soup bones cheaply since they're not prime cuts.

I asked the butcher for a couple of soup bones to make stock.
