Why This Recipe Stands Out

- Anti-Inflammatory Boost: Turmeric and ginger add powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
- Versatile Usage: Use it as a base for soups, stews, or sip it on its own for a nutritious boost.
Ingredients for Instant Pot Bone Broth
Key Ingredients:
- 1 chicken carcass (from a roasted or cooked chicken)
- 2 carrots, chopped into chunks
- 1 cup chopped celery
Flavor Boosters:
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
Liquid Base:
- 4 cups warm water (or enough to cover bones and vegetables)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Ingredients
- Gather all ingredients and ensure the chicken carcass is free of excess fat.
- Chop the carrots and celery into manageable chunks.
Step 2 – Load the Instant Pot
- Place the chicken carcass, carrots, celery, garlic, turmeric, and ginger into the Instant Pot.
- Add apple cider vinegar, which helps extract collagen and nutrients from the bones.
- Pour warm water over the ingredients, ensuring the bones are fully submerged.
Step 3 – Pressure Cook the Broth
- Secure the Instant Pot lid and select the Manual function.
- Set the timer for 120 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 4 – Release Pressure and Strain
- Let the pressure release naturally, which takes about 10 to 40 minutes.
- Carefully unlock and remove the lid.
- Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer to remove bones and vegetable bits.
Step 5 – Cool and Store
- Let the broth cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips for the Perfect Bone Broth
- Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for organic chicken and fresh vegetables for the best flavor and nutrients.
- Add More Vegetables: Incorporate onions or leeks for additional depth of flavor.
- Enhance the Spices: Adjust the turmeric and ginger levels based on your taste preferences.
- Freeze in Portions: Use silicone molds to freeze broth in individual servings for easy access.
