For pork stock I buy neck bones from the meat dept (really cheap) and roast them first. Then I add them to the stock pot with onion, carrot, celery, bay, and a thyme bundle or bouquet garni. Ham stock with a ham bone.

This recipe (http://www.food.com/recipe/hearty-chicken-noodle-soup-344454) takes a regular stock and flavors it up for you. It's from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook. Enjoy!

I love making my own stock and prefer the low and slow on the stove method. My problem is that I haven't found a chicken soup recipe that really brings UP the flavor when I use my own stock. It always comes out bland. Any recommendations???

I use my crockpot, also! I put the bones in the freezer until I have enough (even mixed chicken and pork bones) and put in the crockpot, covered with water overnight. If I cook it during the day, I get too anxious to leave it in long enough, so this way I wake up to perfectly done broth. What a difference it makes when you use this in your cooking! I shutter to think of all the bones I've 'wasted' over the years!!
