Easy Bone Broth Recipe
I do this in a slow cooker overnight or in an Instant Pot for two hours. If you are making bone broth on the stove top, use a heavy-duty pot (cast iron is best) and cook on low (covered) all day.
Ingredients
- 3-6 pounds chicken or beef bones (better if they are cooked, so leftover bones are perfect)
- water to cover by 2-inches
- 1-2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- any veggies you want, carrots, celery, garlic ((this is all flavour, you don’t need any))
Instructions
- 1
Place bones in a slow cooker, cover with water by 2-inches and cook on high for 12 hours.
- 2
Place bones in a slow cooker, fill to 1-inch below fill line. Turn to manual pressure for 2 hours. Let the pressure release naturally once finished. You will need more like 3 hours of total time for this.
- 3
Let cool, place in the fridge overnight before freezing.

Tips & Storage
- How to Store
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Chicken and turkey reheat well in the oven at 325°F to keep the meat moist.
- Can I Freeze This?
- Absolutely. Cool completely and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
- Cooking Tip
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure poultry reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking for juicier results.
