How to Make Bone Broth (Instant Pot)

bones

🥗Healthier: lean meat

💰Cheaper: poultry carcasses

Poultry carcasses provide flavor at a lower cost.

vinegar

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Lemon juice adds acidity for extraction without vinegar's strong flavor.

herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: mixed Italian herbs

Dried herbs are more accessible and still flavorful.

vegetables

🥗Healthier: organic vegetables

💰Cheaper: seasonal vegetables

Seasonal vegetables are often less expensive and fresher.

Start by getting a chicken carcass from Costco, ensuring it has most of the meat removed but contains all the bones.

Place the chicken carcass into the Instant Pot.

Add 1 cup of freeze-dried celery and 1 cup of carrots to the pot.

Add 2 tablespoons of garlic.

Add about 1 teaspoon of peppercorn.

Add 1 teaspoon of freeze-dried parsley and 1 teaspoon of oregano.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.

Add 1 teaspoon of Himalayan sea salt.

Fill the Instant Pot with water up to the capacity line.

Set the Instant Pot to the 'soup' setting for 2 hours and 30 minutes, ensuring the valve is pushed back.

After cooking, let the pressure naturally release.

Once cooled, remove the large chunks from the broth.

Strain the broth through a strainer into a bowl or pitcher.

Store the strained broth in the refrigerator.
