Learn how to make chicken stock for more flavorful soups, pastas, and casseroles! This cooking tutorial will help you turn kitchen scraps into a delicious, nutritious golden broth.
Cook Time 3 hours 30 minutes
Servings 11 cups

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 pounds chicken bones meat, cartlidge, organs, etc.
  • 1 1/2 onions
  • 4 carrots
  • 4 garlic gloves
  • 3 celery stalks
  • 2-3 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons herbs de provence
  • 1 handful parsley stems
  • 10-12 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Roast bones, onions, and garlic for at 425 degrees F. If all of the bones are raw, roast for 1 hour. If the bones have been previously cooked, roast for 30 minutes.
  • Place all ingredients in the Instant Pot, finishing with water up to the max fill line. Close the lid and venting valve and set pressure cook to high for 3 hours.
  • After stock has cooked for 3 hours, allow the pressure to naturally release completely before carefully opening the lid.
  • Pour stock through a strainer and discard of the bones and vegetables, and other bits.
  • Line a mesh strainer with cheesecloth and pour stock through 1-3 times until clear of particles.
  • Once stock has cooled, you'll notice a thin layer of fat collecting and solidifying at the top. You can skim this off immediately or leave it as a protective layer until you are ready to use your stock.
