Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • onion (or you can use the leftover nubs of onions and freeze them until you are ready to make broth)
  • celery just a few stalks, roughly chopped
  • carrots just a couple, roughly chopped
  • 1-3 cloves garlic smashed
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper (or a few peppercorns)
  • 1 T apple cider vinegar
  • spices such as bay leaf, parsley, or anything that sounds good!
  • bones (I usually use a carcass from a rotisserie chicken)
  • water

Method
 

  1.  Combine bones, vegetables, vinegar, and  seasonings into your Instant Pot  and cover with water. Don't go above the "max" line. (In my Instant Pot this is 8 quarts).
  2. Cook on manual/high pressure for a minimum of 120 minutes, or up to 240 minutes if you have time. Natural pressure release it.
  3. Strain and refrigerate until you are ready to cook with it.
  4.  This can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks, or you can freeze it.

Notes

Why Homemade?

Why make your own bone broth? Well, mainly because it's actually super easy!! AND you can use your leftover rotisserie chicken bones and vegetables instead of wasting them. 
Instead of throwing them away, throw them into the instant pot and it's really hands-off from there! 

Storing The Broth

This recipe makes 5 quarts or 20 cups of broth, so you will have some for later!
It can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks or frozen. One of my favorite ways to store this broth is in an ice-cube tray that way anytime I am cooking something that needs a little liquid I just add a frozen cube of bone broth to it!
