Bone broth is an amazing, nutrient dense food that can help heal and protect the lining of the gut, boost the immune system, and reduce inflammation.  Approximately 80% of our immune system is in the gut, so focusing on gut health is essential.
Cook Time2 hours

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Strainer
  • Mason Jars

Ingredients

  • 1 Carcass and bones of 1 whole organic chicken
  • 2 Stalks of celery Cut in large pieces
  • 2 Carrot sticks Cut in large pieces
  • 1/2 Medium onion
  • 1-2 Sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 1-2 Sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Filtered water Enough to cover all ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the chicken carcass, bones, and all ingredients to the Instant Pot.
  • Fill the pot with enough filtered water to cover all ingredients, making sure not to go over the max fill line.
  • Place the lid on top and lock into place.  Make sure the steam release knob is in the sealing position.
  • Set your Instant Pot on High Pressure for two hours.  It will take some time to build up pressure before the timer starts to countdown.
  • When the two hours is up, let the pressure release naturally, about 15-30 minutes.
  • Open the top of the Instant Pot, and use a slotted spoon to remove large ingredients. Strain remaining bone broth into mason jars.

Notes

  1. Use organic free-range chicken to avoid antibiotics, pesticides, and hormones.
  2. Play around with other ingredients and spices such as fish bones, garlic, and oregano.
  3. This recipe can also be made in a crock pot.  Use the exact same ingredients and simmer for 24-48 hours.
  4. Use the broth as a hot healing beverage and in soups or other recipes for up to a week. Bone broth can also be frozen.
