2carrotswashed, peeled, quartered
2 onionsquartered
2medium potatoespeeled, halved
a few cloves of garlicpeeled, smashed
a handful of greens such as celery stalks + leaves, spinach, kale, chard, collard greens(anything you have on hand)
1thunmb sized piece of fresh gingerpeeled
1 sprig fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)
a few sprigs fresh parsley
2-3bay leaves
1/2tspground turmeric
1tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (the good stuff with the mother is best)
1tbsp soy sauce(optional but adds flavour)
8cupswater (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
