In the world of autoimmune diseases, where the body sometimes turns against itself, bone broth can be like a comforting friend. This special broth has some amazing benefits that can really help people dealing with these conditions.
First off, bone broth is like a superhero for your gut. When your gut isn’t happy, it can sometimes trigger autoimmune issues. The benefits of this simple and flavorful broth, with its collagen and other good stuff, helps repair and protect your gut. It’s like giving your gut a warm, healing hug.
Autoimmune problems often bring along inflammation, which can make things feel worse. The healing broth has these cool things called amino acids and minerals that act like natural superheroes, fighting off inflammation and giving you some relief.
Think of it as a cozy, nutrient-packed soup that’s not just delicious but also good for your immune system. It’s like giving your body a boost, helping it defend against anything that might make you feel unwell.
If you ever made chicken or beef stock, making this is just as easy. You just need good-quality bones, simmer them for a good while, and throw in some veggies and herbs. Sipping on this warm broth regularly can become a nice routine, like a little self-care tradition. I like to use my instant pot to make this simple and flavorful recipe.
Now, bone broth won’t magically cure autoimmune diseases, but it can be a helpful part of looking after yourself. It’s like having a cup of warmth and goodness that supports your body in its healing journey.

Selecting the Right Bones:
When making this broth, decide on the flavor and ingredients. Here are some helpful tips:
- Beef Bone Broth – Select beef marrow bones, oxtails and beef knuckle bones,
- Chicken Bone Broth– Use chicken wing tips, backs and chicken feet.
- Pork Bone Broth– I have had some wonderful results using ham hocks.
Instant Pot Chicken Bone Broth
Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds of chicken bones necks, wing tips, backs, or a whole chicken carcass
- 1 onion quartered
- 2 carrots roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic smashed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- Water enough to cover the ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: If you’re using a whole chicken, break it down into pieces. Place the chicken bones or pieces in the Instant Pot.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Add the quartered onion, chopped carrots, celery, smashed garlic, apple cider vinegar, bay leaf, salt, and black peppercorns to the Instant Pot.
- Fill with Water: Pour enough water into the Instant Pot to cover all the ingredients. Be sure not to exceed the maximum fill line.
- Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to the sealing position, and select the ‘Pressure Cook’ or ‘Manual’ setting. Set the timer to 120 minutes (2 hours) for a rich broth.
- Natural Release: Allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally. This may take some time, but it helps extract maximum flavor from the bones and vegetables.
- Strain the Broth: Once the pressure has fully released, carefully open the Instant Pot. Using tongs, remove the larger bones and vegetable pieces. Then, strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pot.
- Cool and Store: Let the broth cool to room temperature before transferring it to containers. Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
- This Instant Pot Chicken Bone Broth is not only easy to make but also rich in flavor and nutrients. Use it as a base for soups, stews, or enjoy a warm cup on its own for a nourishing experience. 🍲✨
Notes
due to the presence of collagen, which is released from the bones during the cooking process. The broth will return to a fully liquid state once it’s heated.
Storing The bone broth can be stored in refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Frozen broth can be kept up to a year. I use these glass mason jars to store my homemade bone broth.
