Instant Pot Bone Broth

Bone broth has become a staple in our household as we use it often in soups, sauces, and for straight-up sipping! I make mine in the instant pot where I can set it and leave it until it’s done cooking and it doesn’t take all day long.

Bone Broth Benefits

• immune support
• gut health support
• promotes healthy bones, hair, and nails
• full of vitamins, minerals, and collagen
• provides joint support
• reduce inflammation
• aids in sleep

As we cook chickens I store the bones in the freezer so I always have ingredients ready when I need to make a batch of broth. I also freeze all my vegetable scraps each in their own bag (one for onions, one for carrots, one for celery).

Did you know you can save the skin and ends of your onions and the carrot peels for making broth? I save all my onion, carrot, and celery scraps and store them in the freezer along with my chicken bones.

Want to know what my secret ingredient is to get my broth to gel?

Chicken feet! I buy a pack of chicken feet at the store and freeze them. In every batch of bone broth I toss in two chicken feet to help my broth gel. The collagen is so good for us!
