Chicken Stock
Ingredients
  • 4 pounds chicken scraps, such as necks, backs, and wings
  • 1/2 large onion, halved
  • 2 medium carrots, scrubbed and halved crosswise
  • 2 ribs celery, washed and halved crosswise
  • 3/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 5 sprigs parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 black peppercorns
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 1 gallon cold water
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a 6-quart pressure cooker or instant pot. Cook at 15 pounds pressure for 1 hour.

  2. Place a 5 quart vessel under a strainer and strain out the solids from the stock. Squeeze the solids to release any leftover juices, then discard. Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, then allow to cool to room temperature.

  3. Transfer stock to freezer-proof tupperware and freeze.
