You could eat this chicken-and-vegetable soup with a knife and fork, but don't forget a spoon for the delicious broth. It's made with chicken pieces on the bone.
This hearty soup makes an excellent main course or starter. For a filling lunch, heat and pack it into a vacuum bottle. Marrow bones give this soup its rich beefy flavour and body. Ask your butcher for them.
Tofu is a brilliant carrier of flavors, plus it's high in protein, low in saturated fat, and a great source of calcium and phosphorus, both of which make for strong and healthy bones.
For fall-off-the-bone ribs, we start with a dry rub, then cook the rack low and slow and finish with a no-cook barbecue sauce. This is our new classic, soon to become your go-to recipe.
Ham hock is perfect for soup. The bone makes a flavourful stock for cooking the chickpeas, and the meat makes it hearty and satisfying. Pair this soup with Whole Wheat Honey Oat Loaf, find the recipe link below.
Smoked turkey is full of flavour and stays tender and moist when cooked in a slow cooker. Simmering it on the bone creates a delicious broth. Smoked turkey is usually found in the deli section of the grocery store.
Meat on the bone is always tasty, and oxtails have the most flavour of all beef cuts. They require long, slow cooking to become tender, but the pressure-cooker method trims the time by about two-thirds.

Serve up this irresistable ham from our April 2004 issue's "Good to the Last Slice" Easter menu. Ham needs virtually no preparation before roasting. The orange-and-dried-cranberry sauce is a tangy twist on a traditional raisin sauce. Save the ham bone for soup.
Ask your butcher for frenched lamb chops (with the meat scraped off the long bones). Freeze any leftover pesto in an airtight container for up to six months; thaw and use as an instant flavour booster in pastas or sandwiches.
