During winter, stock becomes a weekly ritual here: chicken stock, vegetable stock, and every other week a 24-hour beef bone broth.
Nothing goes to waste. Chicken bones are frozen, onion and garlic off-cuts saved, Parmigiano rinds and vegetable trimmings all go back into the pot. It’s traditional cooking—extracting every last bit of nourishment, the way people cooked when energy and calories weren’t so abundant.
Making everything in-house gives me peace of mind. I know exactly what goes into each pot, and every Asatoma soup is built on real, slow-extracted goodness. No shortcuts. No cost-cutting. Just proper food, made with intention.
