Equipment

Instant Pot pressure cooker

Ingredients

1 chicken carcass or 2-3 pounds beef, lamb, or pork bones) bones (I usually use chicken bones that are leftover from our weekly Instant Pot roast chicken, but you can also use 2-3 pounds beef, lamb, non-oily fish or pork bones)
½ onion (chopped)
3 stalks celery (chopped)
1-2 carrots (chopped)
a few sprigs of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary (or 1-2 teaspoons of dried herbs)
1 tsp unrefined sea salt
8-10 cups filtered water
½ tsp whole peppercorns (optional)
misc veggie scraps (optional)
1-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional)

Instructions

Chicken Broth Instructions

Place the chicken carcass in the Instant Pot and top with salt, onion, celery, carrots, herbs and any optional ingredients you're including like additional veggie scraps, apple cider vinegar, seaweed, garlic or mushrooms.
Add water until the bones and veggies are completely covered, making sure that you don't fill more than 2/3 capacity. Lock the lid in place and set the valve to the "sealing" position.
Using the Manual setting, select "high pressure" and set the timer to 120 minutes.
After two hours, allow the Instant Pot to depressurize slowly via natural release.
Place a strainer over a large bowl - I use one like this because it has a spout that makes pouring the broth super easy. Pour broth into mason jars and store in the fridge.

Beef, Lamb or Pork Broth Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place bones on a rimmed baking sheet and roast them for 30 minutes.
