Ingredients

  • 2-4 pounds* bones chicken or turkey carcasses beef bones, chicken feet, wings
  • 1 carrot cut into large chunks
  • 1 celery stalk large pieces
  • 1 small onion quartered
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 cups vegetable scraps optional
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 star anise pod
  • 1 teaspoon peppercorns
  • fresh herbs
  • 1.5 tablespoons salt or to taste

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to your Instant Pot and fill it up with water to about 2 inches from the rim.

  2. Close the lid and seal the venting valve. Cook on Manual high pressure for 120 minutes (or low pressure for 240 minutes). The pot will take about 30 minutes to pressurize before the timer starts counting down.

  3. At the end of the cooking cycle let the pressure release naturally (NPR). This takes about 30 minutes. Then strain all solids out and let the broth cool. Discard fat from top.

  4. Enjoy warm from a cup or turn into a healing soup.

Recipe Notes

*using more bones results in a more gelatinous bone broth
