  • PROPERLY FREE RANGE
  • Making great stock is so much easier if you start with the right ingredients. Our chicken carcasses are from our flock of Properly Free Range birds. Their free-range lifestyle, involving lots of roaming around grass fields foraging for insects and eating plenty of forage, combined with their simple diet means they develop strong bones full of really nutritious marrow. 

    Perfect for making stocks, broths and soups. 

    Each carcass weighs approximately 450g. 

  • Free Range Chicken

  • Place the carcass and some diced veg like celery, onion and carrots into a large deep pot and cover with water so the carcasses are neatly submerged.

    Put the lid on the pot and bring to the boil, skim off any of the foam of that bubbles to the top so that your stock will be clear once finished.

    Simmer on the lowest setting of your hob for roughly 6 hours, but really as long as you can leave it. The longer you cook it the more gelatinous your stock will be.

  • All of our meat is delivered frozen ready to pop straight into your freezer, once defrosted these can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    • The keystone founding principle of Pipers Farm is that we work with small scale family farmers like ourselves, who rear animals slowly on grass, rather than depending on imported feeds such as cheap grains.

How to make chicken soup from a carcass

Making proper chicken soup from a carcass is a delicious way to honour every part of a bird, extracting deep, nourishing flavour from the bones. Start by placing your leftover free-range chicken carcass in a pot with cold water, ensuring it's fully covered. Add onions, carrots, and celery, along with a handful of herbs - bay leaves, thyme, and parsley work beautifully. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it bubble away for a few hours, allowing the rich, golden broth to develop. Strain the liquid, season to taste, and you have the perfect base for a hearty, wholesome chicken soup. Simply add shredded chicken, fresh vegetables, or pearl barley for a deeply comforting bowl of goodness.
