Instant Pot Chicken Bone Broth

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time2 hours
natural pressure release30 minutes
Total Time2 hours 5 minutes
Course: Soup
Keyword: bone broth
Servings: 10 or more

Ingredients

  • 1 roasted chicken carcass (great way to use up rotisserie chicken leftovers and bones)
  • 2 carrots washed, peeled, quartered
  • 2 onions quartered
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled, halved
  • a few cloves of garlic peeled, smashed
  • a handful of greens such as celery stalks + leaves, spinach, kale, chard, collard greens (anything you have on hand)
  • 1 thunmb sized piece of fresh ginger peeled
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • a few sprigs fresh parsley
  • 2-3 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (the good stuff with the mother is best)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional but adds flavour)
  • 8 cups water (or fill pot to just under the max line)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients, in order into the instant pot.
    Lock on the lid, and turn steam valve to sealing.
    Choose pressure cook and set timer to 120 minutes (2 hours).
  • When time is up, let pot and timer proceed with natural release for 30 minutes.
    Open lid, and take in the delicious aroma of your broth...yummmm!
    Do a taste test and adjust flavour with salt and pepper to your liking, I used the bones of a store bought rotisserie chicken which had plenty of flavour and seasonings already so my broth didn't need any extra.
  • At this point, you will want to remove the carrots, onions, celery and any good chicken meat that is in the broth, and reserve for using in a chicken noodle soup (which of course you can also make using this broth).
  • Place a fine meshed sieve (or cheesecloth) over a large bowl and pour the broth over it, then ladle the clear broth into a couple of large mason jars (or smaller ones, if you want to do ready to go portions).
    This broth will last at least a week in the fridge, or many months in the freezer.
    To use simply pour yourself a cupful, heat it up and sip away

Notes

*I made it in a 6 quart Instant Pot Duo
