What Can I Make With Goose Stock?
Good Questions

Q: I made goose stock from the remnants of my Christmas goose. What should I do with it?

Editor: Michelle, you could definitely make any of these soups with your goose stock. You could also use it to cook couscous, rice, or small pasta, for a richer taste. Basically, you can use it just about any way you would use chicken or turkey stock. We imagine it has a richer taste, though, so you'll want to show it off in something not too complicated!

Readers, have you ever cooked with goose stock?

Next question?

Use it to make mushroom risotto. We did last month and it was yummy.

My boyfriend claims the best mashed potatoes I ever made were the ones with goose stock.

I've made Southeast-Asian soups (e.g. phở) with duck stock before and it was really good. The gaminess played well with fresh herbs and star anise. I think of goose as being even a bit gamier, but I think it would work out.

maybe you could incorporate it into a bean dish? I'm thinking along the lines of cassoulet.

risotto with goose stock is incredible!! you have to try it.

Goose stock has a certain sweetness to it, more similar to turkey than chicken stock. So bear that in mind. I found a recipe online for a Scandinavian-style beet soup that used good stock. Personally I think goose stock is better used as a cooking liquid for potatoes or rice, as others have suggested, rather than on its own.
