QUICK AND EASY BONE BROTH SOUP RECIPE

Bone broth has always been a staple when we were growing up. My mom is a soup fanatic and would always make a big pot at least 3-4 times a week to make soups, stews, stir-fries and sauces throughout the week.

Bone broth has gained rapid popularity recently due to the many health benefits it brings.

I now make a batch of Instant Pot Bone Broth at least twice a week. It’s seriously the best natural medicine for SO many ailments. It’s gluten free, whole 30 compliant, ketogenic friendly and I mention HERE how it helped to heal me after a severe allergic reaction.

HOW DO YOU MAKE INSTANT POT BONE BROTH?

1. Save cooked chicken or meat bones in a large bag in your freezer throughout the week. When you have enough, toss into a pot to make a batch of bone broth
2. Use any combination of chicken, turkey, beef, or pork bones. Fish bones are also great for making fish stock.
3. One or two organic whole roasted chicken, beef bone marrow, neck bones, knuckle, short ribs are all ideal for a rich and flavorful broth
4. I usually use bones from 1 organic roasted or rotisserie chicken and 1 – 2 beef bones (bone marrow and short ribs or knuckle)
5. For extra depth of flavor, roast your bones for 1/2 an hour at 350 F.
6. Use any combination of aromatics or vegetables: carrots, celery, onion, ginger, garlic, leeks, mushroom and parsley
7. Add 1 teaspoon of [amazon_textlink asin=’B07BKB96TF’ text=’raw apple cider vinegar’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’lifmadswe09-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’34419ce9-8b80-11e8-b008-fb1e49c6a679′] or lemon juice to help break down the bones.
8. Cook in a 6 or [amazon_textlink asin=’B01B1VC13K’ text=’8 quart Instant Pot’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’lifmadswe09-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’4518d4ad-8b80-11e8-bb41-f5f5f483bd68′] for 2 hours to extract the flavor and nutrients
9. Or simmer bones, meat, vegetables, herbs with water on the stovetop or a slow cooker

You can save your veggies scraps throughout the week and freeze them for when you’re ready to make a batch of this Instant Pot Bone Broth.

Just toss everything into your Instant Pot and you’re good to go.

What’s great about making Instant Pot Bone Broth is that it cooks in just a fraction of the time and is just as flavorful – if not more.

Just 2 hours on HIGH PRESSURE and you’re left with a batch of awesome bone broth that you can store in some mason jars in the the fridge for the week.

I’ve included instructions for making this bone broth in the slow cooker and on the stove-top as well.

If making it on the stove, you’ll have to simmer for at least 8-12 hours (ideally 18-20 hours) for extra flavor and to bring out all the nutrients.

Enjoy your Instant Pot Bone Broth as is or use it to make soups, stews and add flavor to sauces and stir fries.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef bones*
• 2 medium carrots cut into thirds (I usually only use 1)
• 1 rib celery cut into thirds
• 1 knob fresh ginger about 1 inch
• 2 garlic cloves optional
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
• 8 cups water or as much as needed to cover the bones
• 2 teaspoons pink Himalayan salt or sea salt, to taste
• handful of fresh parsley optional

Instructions

1. For extra depth of flavor and to cut down on the fat rendered from the bones, you can roast them on a baking pan in the oven at 450 F for 30 minutes prior to making the broth.

FOR THE INSTANT POT OR PRESSURE COOKER METHOD:

1. Place all the bones in the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Add carrots, celery, ginger, garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
2. Add enough water until the pot is 2/3 full.

3. Close the lid and turn the valve to SEALING. Press the SOUP button and increase the cook time to 120 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to come to pressure - this can take about 20-40 minutes.

4. After the 120 minutes when the soup has finished cooking (the Instant Pot beeps), allow to naturally depressurize (this can take anywhere from 30-60 minutes.
5. Open the lid, add salt to taste and parsley, if using and allow to sit for 20-30 minutes.
6. Strain the broth through a fine metal strainer and discard the bones and vegetables. Enjoy immediately or allow to cool and pour broth into jars and store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

FOR THE STOVETOP METHOD:

1. Place bones in a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot.
2. Pour water over the bones and add the vinegar. Allow to sit for 20-30 minutes (helps to bring out the minerals from the bones).
3. Add carrots, celery, ginger, garlic, and apple cider vinegar.

4. Turn the stove to high heat and bring to a vigorous boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 8-10 (to really get the health benefits of bone broth - simmer longer for 18-22 hours). Using a skimmer or spoon, remove and discard any impurities that float to the surface.

5. During the last 30 minutes, add salt to taste and parsley, if using.
6. Strain the broth through a fine metal strainer and discard the bones and vegetables. Enjoy immediately or allow to cool and pour broth into jars and store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

FOR SLOW COOKER METHOD:

1. Place bones in a 6 quart or larger slow cooker. Pour water over the bones and add the vinegar. Allow to sit for 20-30 minutes (helps to bring out the minerals from the bones).
2. Add carrots, celery, ginger, garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
3. Cook on low and cook for 12-18 hours (to really get the health benefits of bone broth, simmer longer for 18-36 hours). Add salt to taste and parsley, if using the last 30 minutes of cooking.
4. Strain the broth through a fine metal strainer and discard the bones and vegetables. Enjoy immediately or allow to cool and pour broth into jars and store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Recipe Notes

Regarding bones for bone broth:

I use an assortment of chicken, pork or beef bones that I gather and freeze throughout the week - a whole roasted chicken, bone marrow, knuckles, cross shanks , oxtails, neckbones and short ribs would all work.
