Homemade chicken broth has a much faster method of preparation and maintains a savory flavor that is far superior to store bought broth, when made using the instant pot. With only ten ingredients (not including filtered water) you can have delicious homemade stock ready for use as you prepare for your next food adventure. Follow this recipe and you should end up with ~10 cups of authentic clear stock that will elevate the freshness of your next dish.
If you want to make a truly home cooked dish leave the cans and cartons of broth on the shelf at the store. Start your next broth based meal with no artificial preservatives and less salt. When you consider the number of cups as compared to the cost of the fancy carton you end up saving dollars and having more broth. If you are using cubes, cans or cartons of broth; please give this a try and step up your homecoming game. Watch the video, read the instructions and you will never (under normal circumstances) plan to use factory made broth again.
When you don’t have time to stew or simmer a whole chicken and don’t want to be in the kitchen for hours, this recipe is for you.
