Instant Pot Instructions:

  • Add water, enough to reach the 10 cup mark (for a 6 quart Instant Pot)
  • Press MANUAL button and set for 30 minutes (for newer models press the BROTH/SOUP option)
  • Once time is up, allow Instant Pot to release pressure naturally. It should take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the lid allow broth to cool.
  • Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and discard the solids.
  • Store in proper airtight containers in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.

Crock-pot Instructions:

  • Place everything in a large Crockpot and fill with water so that everything is a few inches below the top. Cover with lid.
  • Allow to cook on LOW for 12-16 hours.
  • Often this means you need to reset to keep your machine going.
  • Add water if necessary halfway through (this can happen when your lid doesn't have a good seal.)
  • Carefully remove the lid allow broth to cool.
  • Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and discard the solids.
  • Store in proper airtight containers in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.

Stovetop Instructions:

  • In a large stockpot add all your ingredients, and fill with pot water several inches from the top.
  • Bring to boil, then lower to the lowest possible simmer. Stir, and cover with tight lid. Allow to low simmer for up to
  • 8 hours, stirring occasionally and possibly adding more water 1-2× if needed.
  • Carefully remove the lid allow broth to cool.
  • Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and discard the solids.
  • Store in proper airtight containers in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
